THE GEMATRIA NOTEBOOKS OF PAUL FOSTER CASE

This is a private searchable PDF document, assembled and

converted from nearly 2000 Word Perfect typewritten pages

of various Gematria Notebooks personally written by Dr. Paul

Foster Case during the course of his lifetime. The original

typing was performed during the mid-1990s into about 500

separate digital files. The Notebooks were first hand copied

by Frater Ron Ferrare and included hundreds of additional

cross-references to reflect numerous books collected by Paul

Case and other works of more recent occult authors which

comprised the total library of Dr. Case’s Order up unto the

late 1980s. Through multiple avenues of confirmation I have

discovered this work is in fact a true and accurate

representation of that period. It is not known by me who the

original typist was nor under what aegis the work was

performed. Much time has been taken by me, over the course

of more than three years, commencing in 2003, to go over the

Hebrew spellings & transliterations of all the connected files

on the menu. Corrections were made to multitudes of typist

errors in the process. It must be said, however, I have found

all of Paul Case’s Hebrew transliteration to be faultless. The

Gematria Notebooks included in this document pull from

thousands of Hebrew, Greek, and Latin sources; as well as

dozens of published and unpublished occult books from the

19th and early, mid, and later 20th centuries, including “The

Master R Communications” of 1947-48, which were found to

be included in the original WordPerfect files. Unfortunately

many Greek words did not transfer from the original

Wordperfect fonts into MS Word. Nor can I vouch that this

current document is 100% error-free and I apologize for what

I may have missed so far. A planned later version will correct

this & will include additional works since uncovered. The

Tarot Section and other Notebooks were corrected, updated

and added on 09.22.04. The final Alchemical Notebook section

was added in July,2007. Let it be known the entire following

works herein contain the actual, original, and intact

definitions and sources taken from the encyclopedic copy

work by Frater Ron Ferrare, who labored for years to make it

so. And may this Gift from the life works of Paul Foster Case

forever enlighten your life as it has mine. November 11, 2009

GEMATRIA

1 (prime) The Monad

Names for the number 1: see 12, 21, 37, 397, 422 or 1552, 620,

721, 559, 736, 837.

"The union of higher reality, the upper Yod, with the lower

reality, the lower Yod, by means of the connecting Vav, of Torah,

is the ultimate secret of the letter Aleph." [The Alef-Beit, Rabbi

Ginsburgh] See 214 (RVCh], 37, 111 [ALP].

The number 1 stands for definite quantity, in contrast to the lack

of definition symbolized by 0. 1 is the sign of the aspect of

unity of which Eliphas Levi says: Unity may be conceived as

relative, manifested, possessing duality, the beginning of

numerical sequence. 1 represents the initial impulse of movement,

the outset of a cycle of activity, the beginning of some phase of

manifested power. Synonyms for beginning, prelude, opening,

threshold, foundation, beginning is introduction. To introduce is

to lead in, to insert; to put or thrust in. Thus the phallic

meanings of 1 are inseparable from fundamental ideas which

humanity associates with beginning.

Aleph [A]. "bull" or "ox". Oxen are symbols of the taming of

natural forces. Thus the letter Aleph is a symbol of creative

energy, and of the vital principles of living creatures. This

vital principle comes to us in physical form as the radiant energy

from the sun. The its association with the Key 0, the Fool, Aleph

is the special sign for air and breath. The noun "fool," is

derived from the Latin follis, meaning a "bag of wind".

Oxen were the motive-power in the early civilizations where the

alphabet of occultism was invented. They were used to plow fields,

to thresh grain, and to carry heavy burdens. Agriculture is the

basis of civilization, hence the ox represents the power at work

in every activity whereby man makes use of the forces surrounding

him, and adapts them to the realization of his purposes. Culture

power and Super-consciousness. The Life Power is the force behind

growth and development.

The activity represented by Aleph is one whereby the one reflects

itself to itself, and so produces the number 2. Wisdom (Chokmah)

is the Life-power's perception of what it is, in itself.

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "A. First character of the alphabet in

nearly all know idioms. As symbolic image it represents universal

man, mankind, the ruling being of the earth. In its hieroglyphic

acceptation, it characterizes unity, the central point, the

abstract principle of a thing. As sign, it expresses power,

stability, continuity. Some grammarians make it express a kind of

superlative as in Arabic; but this is only a result of its power

as sign. On some rare occasions it takes the place of the emphatic

article Heh either at the beginning or at the end of the words.

The rabbis use it as a sort of article. It is often added at the

head of words as redundant vowel, to make them more sonorous and

to add to their expression." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.287]

Greek

Alpha. Signifies, like the Hebrew Aleph, the beginning or a cycle

of activity. It was one of the primary figures of the Gnostic

mystery of Alpha and Omega, and was represented by the

Tetrahedron, which it resembled in its primitive form. see 40,

200, 800, 811. [Bond and Lea: Investigation of the Cabala, page

83.]

2 (prime) The Duad or Dyad.

Names for number 2: see 15, 37, 73.

B Beth. "house". Refers to whatever form may be termed a

dwelling-place for Spirit, and the form particular referred to is

human personality. "The Father who dwells in me, he does the

works."

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "B. this character, as consonant, belongs

to the labial sound. As symbolic image it represents the mouth of

man, his dwelling, his interior. As grammatical sign, it is the

paternal and virile sign, that of interior and active action. In

Hebrew, it is the integral and indicative article expressing in

nouns or actions... almost the same movement as the extractive

article Mem, but with more force and without any extraction or

division of parts." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.300-301]

Considered as the second aspect of unity, the "One possessing

duality." Many of the meaning of the number 2 are related to the

High Priestess (See 73, 106, 412). It was because of the powers of

the number 2 that 2 was selected by God to begin creation [Zohar].

"Beth is drawn with two little points--one pointing above, the

other pointing behind and toward the right. In this way when

someone asks the Beth "Who made you?," it points above, and if

they ask, What is his name?," it points toward the Aleph, as if to

say, "One is his name." [The Book of Letters, Rabbi Kushner]

"Why does the Torah begin with the letter Beth, which corresponds

to the number 2? Because our Sages teach that God created not one

world, but two. There is OVLM HZH, this world, and OVLM HBA, the

world to come. Our life must always be lived with the awareness

that the grave is not our end, but merly the second beginning."

[The Secrets of the Hebrew Words, Rabbi Blech].

As a preposition beth means: in, at; among, with, by means of,

through, against. It suggest movement from a point without to a

point within.

The Hieroglyph for Beth has been lost, as the square letters

employed today are of comparative recent invention. Perhaps the

first idea that will be suggested to most people be all arrow-head

is sharpness. Then since every Hebrew letter stands for a kind of

consciousness, Beth must be a sign of mental acuteness, or

penetration. It represents the sort of intelligence that manifest

itself in quick perception, accurate observation, keen

discernment, sagacity, and the like. An arrowhead is a point,

denoting position. In logical 'position' means affirmation or

assertion, As when we speak of 'the proof of a position,' implying

order-is derived. Beth, then represents affirmative mental

activity, limiting its operation to a definite locality, and

exercising itself in establishing order. Hence Beth suggest

initiative, direction, control, the concentration of energy in a

particular field, and its specialization in definite forms. This

idea of concentration is inseparable from the original form of the

letter. The word 'concentrate' is derived from the greek Kentron,

an arrow point. The same Greek work also means the point around

which a circle is inscribed, which shows that it implies the very

notions of definite locality, order, that we have been

considering. The implicates of the letter name are closely related

to those connected with the hieroglyphic. Beth means "house"

suggesting inclosure, limitation, to a special field, definite

locality, and so on. As a House is the dwelling of its owner, so

is the kind of mental action related to Beth the abode of spirit,

because it centers the cosmic mind in a particular, local

expression." [The Secret Doctrine of the Tarot, in the Word, June

1916, pp. 79-80.

The fundamental meaning are related primarily to the Magician and

1, considered as the second aspect of unity. There is no

partition, separation, or distance between the aspects of

consciousness corresponding to 2 and 1 than those corresponding to

1 and 0. Self, sub and superconsciousness are simply 3 levels of

one consciousness. Since 1 is half of 2, the number 2 is the

reflection of the number 1, as 1/1. As the antithesis of 1, the

number 2 represents what is secondary. It is next below the first

in importance, but stands in relation to all numbers following ???

just as 1 stands for 2 or 0 for 1.

As second in a series beginning with 1, 2 represents continuation,

in the sense of carrying onward or extending the initial impulse

symbolized by 1. 2 is therefore an emblem of prolongation, or

lengthening in time or space. Hence, the number wisdom of

Pythagoreans, the line is represented by 2 the point by 1.

The number 2 stands for the non-ego, the inferior nature, the

mysterious working power of the supreme spirit. It is the

arithmetical symbol of result or effect; the moon, the reflection

of sun; of memory; of intellect (Wisdom) and of radiant energy

because it vibrates. Prakriti-the Great Womb or principal thing.

It is female in relation to Kether.

Through me unfailing Wisdom takes form in thought and word.

2 is the symbol of duality, the symbol of the separation of the

sexes, of space-time, etc. Any number with a numerical reduction

of 2 has a characteristic of duality. The number 2 also concerns

Wisdom. superstitious people say that 2 is the number of evil,

which is not accurate. Duality is necessary for manifestation and

consequently it is the first principle to allow for man's

evolution.

Through me its unfailing Wisdom takes form, in thought and word

[Pattern on the Trestleboard].

see 73, 37, 15 as well as numbers which reduce to 2: 29, 11, 38,

47, 56, 65, 74,

AA. An abbreviation for ARIK ANPIN, Arik Anpin, the Vast

Countenance (Kether). see 422, 620.

B. An abbreviation of BN, Ben (52) or BR (202). meaning "son of."

Extremely rare use.

3 (prime)

Σ2 = 3

Names for the number 3: see 67, 42, 52, 265.

Numbers which reduce to 3 see: 12, 21, 30, 39, 48, 57, 66, 75, 84,

93, 102, 111, 120, 138, 300.

The response of the subconscious mental activity to the

selfconscious impulse in the generation of mental images; hence,

understanding.

The union of the ideas of individuality (1) and repetition (2).

3 is the number of trinity, the 3 aspect of the invisible man's

consciousness. 3 is the number of Creation: 1, through

differentiation, gives 2 other elements. The number 3 concerns

Intelligence.

The mystic number of Chokmah. It manifest itself in mental life as

creative imagination. As 1+2 is the union of the ideas of

individuality (1) and repetition (2). The repetition of the unit

(1) through the agency of the duad (2) is reproduction. Three is

the number of production, formation, organization, propagation,

elaboration.

Three is the number of the Sephirah Binah, "Mother".

G Gimel. Camel. The number of the third Hebrew letter, Key 2 the

High Priestess. Represents universal Memory, through the

subconscious substance aspect (Water). The uniting Intelligence,

linking the universal self in Kether and the Ego in Tiphareth, on

the Tree of Life. It is the bond between all creating beings and

like the camel, is a symbol of travel, communication and change.

The direction Below on the Cube of Space. A key to the alchemical

mystery of the First Matter-the Virgin Substance "whose purity

naught can defile" [Book of Tokens, Gimel]. see 237, 882, 13.

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "G. GH. This character as consonant,

belongs to the guttural sound. The one by which I translate it, is

quite a modern invention and responds to it rather imperfectly.

Plutarch tells us that a certain Carvilius who, having opened a

school at Rome, first invented or introduced the letter G, to

distinguish the double sound of the C. As symbolic image the

Hebraic Gimel indicates the throat of man, any conduit, any canal,

any deep hollow object. As grammatical sign, it expresses organic

development and produces all ideas origination from the corporeal

organs and from their action.

"The Gimel is composed of a Vav, representing an erect man, with a

lower Yod, a foot in motion...Our sages teach that the Gimel

symbolizes a rich man running after a poor man, the Daleth, to

give him charity." [The Alef Beit, Rabbi Ginsburgh].

Gimel and Daleth wee not used for creation because Gimel signifies

beneficence, and Daleth poverty, which maintained each other"

(Zohar 1, page 12).

Gimel is a modified form of Yod. Thus the two parts of the letter

hint at a concealed numeral value of 16, since Vav is 6 and Yod is

10. Among Hebrew words having the value of 16 are: AZVB, Hyssop,

signifying purgation or purification; GBVH elevated, exalted,

High; HIA, She; and ZVB, like equal to. The Uniting Intelligence

is the most important means of purification. It links personal

consciousness to the Highest plane of being. It is the wisdom

personified in Proverbs as a woman. Its full exercise enables us

to realize the identity of the Self in man with universal being.

"The Earliest sign for the letter Gimel was probably a

conventionalized picture of a bow. As a bow is used for shooting

arrows, the first idea it suggests is propulsive force.

Furthermore, since we have learned that the letter Beth was

originally in the form of an arrowhead, it becomes evident that

Gimel, the bow, as the propulsive force behind the arrow, stands

for something that incites the objective mind, represented by

Beth, to express itself in concentrated attention... Thus, in a

sense, the bow is derived from the arrow; and this makes it an

emblem of secondary existence; evolution, and the like. Again, the

bow, like the crescent, cup, sistrum, wheatear, oval, is related

to the hieroglyphic as well as to the letter-name. Relaxed and

unstrung, the bow is an emblem of peace; tense and strung, it

signifies war." [The Secret of the Doctrine of the Tarot in the

Word, July 1916, page 161, 163].

Filled with understanding of its perfect law, I am guided, moment

by moment, along the path of liberation"

AB Ab. Father. A name for number 2 and Chokmah. By notariqon AB

stands for the 2 words Aima-Ben [AIMA-BN]. Mother (Binah) and Son

(Tiphareth). In the Father these potencies are latent and

concealed. The essential reality, the cause of existence. Also

the 11th Hebrew month, July-August, corresponding roughly to the

period when the sun is in Leo. This month is not mentioned in

scripture. see 23, 73.

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "AB. The potential sign united to that of

interior activity produces a root whence come all ideas of

productive cause, efficient will, determining movement, generative

force. In may ancient idioms and particularly in the Persian

[word] this root is applied especially to the aqueous element as

principle of universal fructification.

AB. All ideas of paternity. Desire to have: a father: fruit. In

reflecting upon these different significations, which appear at

first incongruous, one will perceive that they come from one

another and are produced mutually." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored,

p.287]

BA baw. becoming, future. From this correspondence between Ab and

Baw, Ab, the Father, is the cause of existence, and therefore

antecedent to what is now part of our present experience, the life

force named Ab is also the essential reality which is to find

manifestation in every event and condition which, to our limited

time-sense, appears to be in the future. Actually, the Eternal is

beyond the limitations of past, present and future, it is the

eternal NOW.

4 (2*2) The Tetractys or Tetrad

Names for the number 4: see 48, 72, 1626 (Greek).

The number 4 is said to be the source of all numeral combinations

and the origin of all forms. That is why the square, the form into

which the swords in this Key are placed, is a symbol of the

manifest. Eliphas Levi wrote of four "... This number produces the

cross and square in geometry. All that exists, whether good or

evil, light or darkness, exists and is revealed by the tetrad, (it

is) the unity of construction, solidity and measure."

4 clearly relates to the classifying activity of selfC, induced by

the response of subconscious to impressions origination at the

selfC level. This classifying activity is reason.

Dominance; the classifying activity of self-consciousness (induced

by conscious response to sub-conscious mental imagery); the cosmic

order, considered at the underlying substance manifested in every

form; Reason. measurement, recording, tabulation, beneficence.

"The number 4 is occultly connected with the completion of the

'sanctum sancitorum' -The ocean of a higher consciousness." [R.C.

Allegory, page 16].

'The pythagoreans called the number 4 tetractis (see 1626) because

it is the foundation and root of all other numbers. [H.C. Agrippa

of Occult Philosophy page 183-185].

"From the exhaustless riches of its Limitless substance, I draw

all things needful, both spiritual and material." [Pattern]

4 is the number of the quaternary. It corresponds to the

framework in which man's evolution takes place. 4 corresponds to

the "First Day of Creation," that is, man's entry into space-time

(level 4). The number 4 concerns Mercifulness and esoteric

problems. Every number whose numerical reduction is 4 concerns

the solid aspect of things.

D Daleth. "Door". The leaf (a hinged or movable section of a

door or gate), not the opening. It suggests powers to admit or

bar, to retain or to let out. Daleth is also connected with the

meaning of the door as a means of entrance and exit, a passageway

from within to without. Creative imagination is the entrance

(door) to new life and to new worlds. see 40, 400, 434.

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "D. This character as consonant belongs

to the dental sound. It appears that in its hieroglyphic

acceptation, it was the emblem of the universal quaternary; that

is to say, of the source of all physical existence. As symbolic

image it represents the breast, and every nourishing and abundant

object. As grammatical sign, it expresses in general, abundance

born of division: it is the sign of divisible and divide nature.

The Hebrew does not employ it as article, but it enjoys that

prerogative in Chaldaic, Samaritan and Syriac, where it fulfills

the functions of a kind of distinctive article." [The Hebrew

Tongue Restored, p.318]

"And why does the roof of the Daleth extend backwards a little to

the right, in the direction of Gimel? To teach us that the poor

man, Daleth, must make himself available to the Gimel, the one who

would lend him money. Nevertheless, the face of the Daleth is

turned away--teaching that charity must be given in secret." [The

Book of Letters, Rabbi Kushner]

The 4th Hebrew letter, meaning "Door". Attributed to Venus and the

desire nature; to creative imagination. Daleth is the Luminous

Intelligence, uniting Chokmah and Binah on the Tree of Life. On

the Cube of Space, the East face, source of Light.

"The character for Daleth is easily confused with that for Resh,

printed on Key 19. The difference is that the upper parts of the

letter projects slightly to the right, and the ascending line is

somewhat thicker than in Resh. Because the value of the letter is

4, it is often cited in Qabalah as the sign of the 4th Sephirah,

Mercy or Beneficence." [PFC, Practice Course].

BB babah. An excavation or well; hollow a vein. From a root

meaning: every idea of interior void, of exterior swelling: pupil

of the eye.

ABA Abba. Father. A name for the number 4 and Chesed. 2*2 or the

multiplication of Chokmah by itself. This links the derivation of

the powers of Chesed from chokmah, since chokmah is called AB,

Father. It is through the path of Vav (the Hierophant, and in

italian Il Papa, the Father) that the power of Chokmah descends

into Chesed.

GA gay. conceited, haughty, proud. This word is associated with

power, authority and magnificence expressed by Gedulah, Majesty

(see 48). A typical Jupiterian sin, the negative polarity of

persons of importance.

Gay and Abba, stand for opposite manifestations of Qabalistic

ideas which correspond to the fourth Sephirah. This is precisely

the significance of [GA], as used in Isaiah 16:6. "We have heard

of the pride of Moab, an excessive pride; Even of his arrogance,

pride and fury; His ideal boasts are false." [New American

Standard]

5 (prime) The Pentalpha

Names for the number 5: see 64, 92, 216, 1200.

5 is the number of adaptation, adjustment and selfC. The special

human expression of the Life-power acts by adaptation. Thus 5 is

the number of Man... it is Man, and Man only who can achieve the

full flower of selfC. This great attainment cannot be

accomplished by the sub-human and subconscious levels of being.

These lower levels are mere averages within the amorphous plasma,

or primordial stuff in which the expanding roots of selfC are

planted and from which the full bloom of the selfC ego emerges.

I recognize the manifestation of the undeviating Justice in all

circumstances in my life.

Heh [H]. Fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Connected with the

idea of meditation, the pentagram, the function of Binah in

creation (#67). also with vision, reason, observation which lead

to definitions.

"The Heh looks life a lobby with three walls, but with one side

completely open. This indicates that God allows man free choice.

He is free to obey or disobey God's will, but he chosses to leave

the safety of the Torah's spiritual and moral boundries, he loses

his foothold and slips, as it were, through the open space of the

Heh into the abyss...however, Heh symbolizes God's readiness to

forgive...A small opening is left in the top left leg of the Heh

symbolizing that a space always remians through which a repentant

sinner can return. [The Wisdom of the Hebrew Alphabet, Rabbi Munk]

According to Fabre D'Olivet: "E. HE. This character is the symbol

of universal life. It represents the breath of man, air, spirit,

Soul; that which is animating; vivifying [Note the 1st Heh in IHVH

is attributed to Binah, the creative world, the 2nd to Assiah, the

material world]. As grammatical sign, it expresses Life and the

abstract idea of being. It is, in the Hebrew tongue of great use

as article. [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.326-327]

"Heh DETERMINATIVE ARTICLE. It determines the noun; that is to

say, that it draws the objective which it designates from a mass

of similar objects and gives it a local existence. [i.e. Aries the

Constituting Intelligences]. Derived from the sign Heh, which

contains the ideas of universal life, it presents itself under

several acceptations as article. By the first, it pounts out

simply the noun that it modifies and rendered by the corresponding

articles the, this, that, there, those: by the second, it

expresses a relation of dependence or division, and is translated

of the; of this, of that, of these, of those: by the third, it

adds to the noun before which it is placed, only an emphatic

meaning, a sort of exclamation accent. In this last acceptation,

it is placed indifferently at the beginning or at the end of words

and is joined with the greater part of the other articles without

being harmful to their moveicent. Therefore call it Empirical

article and when I translate it which I rarely do lacking means, I

render it by o! oh! ah! or simply by the exclamation point (!)."

[The Hebrew Tongue restored pp.111-12].

BBA babah. Door, gate, division, section (of an argument,

exposition, or literary composition). May also be read as Be-Bag:

"In time to come, in the future." A verbal symbol of transition

from one state to another. Also of orderly classification,

symbolized by Heh as the definite article.

GB gab. Back; upper surface of anything; mound, the rim of a

wheel, the vault of an arch; a hill or hillock. Whatever supports

or sustains as a table supports objects laid thereon. The idea of

something hollowed out, closely allied to all Qabalistic notions

of the work of creation and specialization. Fabre D'Olivet gives:

"the original sign united by contraction to the root AB, symbol

of every fruitification, develops, in general, the idea of a thing

placed or coming under another thing. GB a boss, an excrescence, a

protuberance; a knoll, the back, everything convex. GB or GVB, a

grasshopper." [The Hebrew tongue restored. Page 210].

DA Da. This. A pronoun. It is a meshnaic, or Talmudic word. In

the Hebrew dictionary the asterisk is used to indicate this fact.

It is an aramaic word in origin. 5 is considered to be the number

of man.

AD ade. fog, vapor, mist, to cover, to envelope. Genesis 2:6,

"But a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole face of

the ground." Formed from the first two letters of Adam. it relates

to the occult truth that the physical organism is something

precipitated from, or condensed from a primary substance. (see 55,

45). Masters of wisdom know how to dissolve their physical

vehicles into a "Mist," as did Jesus at his "Ascension," at which

time "A cloud received him out of their sight." Qabalist associate

this mist with the Malkuth. see 14, 41, 104, 72, 86, 158).

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "This root, composed of the signs of

power and of physical divisibility, indicates every distinct,

single object, taken from the many. The arabic: *** in an abstract

manner and as adverbial relation, expresses a temporal point, a

determined epoch: When, whilst, whereas. AD that which emanates

from a thing: the power of divinity relative unity, an emanation;

a smoking fire brand." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, page 289].

ABB awbab. to blossom, to bear fruit; to shine. See Book of

Tokens under Heh.

AGA agee. fugitive, to flee. The natural man does seem to be a

fugitive.

BG bag. food. Persian origin.

DA da. this (a pronoun). A Mishnaic or Talmudic word. of Aramaic

origin. 5 is considered to be the number of man. Man is DA,

"this." ROOT: the sign of natural abundance and division.

6 (2*3)

Σ3 = 6

Names for the number 6: see 45, 52, 80, 311, 1081, 548, 666.

The 1st perfect number (32 Path Lesson 6, page 6)

6 symbolizes universal forces, like light, heat and

electromagnetism.

The number concerns beauty, harmony, symbolizing the union of the

2 worlds. The number of balance which contains 2 trinities: 3 +

3. 15 is the first number with a numerical reduction of 6. Note

that 15 - 5 + 5 + 5 or 3 times the number of man. At level 6 man

can contact his higher trinity.

In all things, great and small, I see the Beauty of the divine

expression.

V Vav. Vav is used as the conjunction "and." "The Vav is a

vertical line representing a pillar or a man standing upright...

pillars hold Creation together..."[The Alef Beit, Rabbi

Ginsburgh]. "This is the word of Vav: to join us all into a

myriad of constellations each remaining different, each bound to

the other." [The Book of Letters, Rabbi Kushner].

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "Vav, O, OU, IU. This character has two

very distinct vocal acceptations, and a third as consonant.

Following the first of these vocal acceptations, it represents the

eye of man, and becomes the symbol light; following the second, it

represents the ear, and becomes the symbol of sound, air, wind: As

a consonant it is the emblem of water and in it, as I have already

said, that image of the most profound, the most inconceivable

mystery. The image of the knot which unites, or the point which

separates nothingness and being. In its luminous vocal acceptation

Vav, it is the sign of intellectual sense, the verbal sign par

excellence.. in its ethereal verbal acceptation Vav, it is the

universal convertible sign, which makes a thing pass from one

nature to another; communicating on one side with sign of

intellectual sense, which is only itself more elevated, and on the

other, with that of material sense Ayin, which is only itself more

abased: It is finally, in its aqueous consonantal acceptation, the

link of all things, the conjunctive sign. It is in this last

acceptation that it is employed more particularly as article...

The character Vav, except its proper name VV, does not begin any

word of the Hebraic tongue, and consequently does not furnish any

root. This important observation, corroborating all that I have

said upon the nature of the Hebraic signs, proves the head of a

root to nouns to modify them, or between them for the purpose of

joining them, or in front of the verbal tense to change them.

The Arabic Ethiopic, Syriac and Chaldaic, which are not so

scrupulous and which the character Vav, at the head of a great

number of words, prove by this that they stood the primitive idiom

from which they descend, this idiom preserved by the Egyptian

priest was delivered as I have said, to Moses who taught it to the

Hebrews. [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, pp. 334-335]

BD bad. Isolation, separation, thing separated from; alone;

empty talk, lies, vain boasting. All its variation apply to the

negative aspect of Tiphareth. It also means twig of a tree, shoot

staff, white linen and soothsayer; Rod; pole, limb of the body;

cell (in skin), war, chatter; separable part of something; olive

press.

According to Fabre D'Olivet: "BD is from the root AD, which

characterizes every object distinct and alone, being contracted

with the sign of interior activity, composes this root whence

issue ideas of separation, isolation, solitude, individuality,

particular existence. From the idea of separation comes that of

opening: thence that of opening the mouth which is attached to

this root in several idioms, and in consequence, that of

chattering, babbling, jesting, boasting, lying, etc. The arabic

*** signifies literally middle, between. As a verb, this root

characterized the action of dispersing." [Hebrew Tongue Restored,

pp 301-302]

GG gawg. roof, flat top of a house; the upper part of an altar;

width, volume (geometry). This word indicated by the initials

G.G., designating the sixth person called by brother C.R. to aid

in the founding of the Rosicrucian order [Fama]. In certain

esoteric societies, Yesod is represented by the alter. The top of

the alter is referred to as Tiphareth (see 80, 1081).

Third in order of these second four Brethren is Brother G.G. His

initials spell the Hebrew noun GG, Gawg, meaning "roof," so

suggesting both shelter and secrecy. Thus, the doorkeeper of a

Masonic lodge bears the significant name of "tiler," and to "tile"

the lodge is to make sure that none are admitted save those having

the right to enter. Hence, Brother G.G. represents the human

virtue of prudence. He also represents the principle of secrecy,

as necessary today as ever before, If genuine occultism is to be

propagated successfully. ...To give them to the unprepared is to

violate the old alchemical maxim that before one uses the

Philosophers Stone to transmute metals, the metals must first be

purified. ... Thus, the Fama says Brother C.R. bound the Brethren

to be not only faithful and diligent but secret also, and it

speaks of the Brethren taking their knowledge into the world in

order that it might be examined in secret by the learned.

Similarly, in the ministry of Jesus, "Brethren G.G." appears side

by side with "Brother B." For although Jesus held the multitudes

spellbound with his verbal moving pictures, He withheld from all

but a tested few the subtler meanings of his brilliant, colorful

discourses. [True and Invisible, pp. 94-95]

Fabre D'Olivet writes: "Every idea of elasticity; that which

stretches and expands without being disunited. The Arabic word ***

contains the same idea of extension. GG or GVG the roof of a tent,

that which extends to cover, to envelop. [Hebrew Tongue Restored,

p. 311]

HA heh, hah. Lo, to behold, to see (variant of HH), a window. As

one of the letters of IHVH, when Tetragrammanton is thought of as

operating in Yetzirah, the World of Formation. Yetzirah has a

special relationship to Tiphareth and to 6 (see 315).

Fabre D'Olivet: "Every evident, demonstrated and determined

existence. Every demonstrative movement expressed in an abstract

sense by the relations here, there; this, that. The arabic Lo

expresses only an exclamation." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.

327].

GBA gehbeh. a reservoir, cistern; for a root meaning "to gatherer,

to collect." Refers to the function of the Tiphareth as a

reservoir into which flow streams of influence from the Sephiroth

above. see 60, 600, 42.

"The central unit (of a cube 3*3*3, containing 27 cubes of 1*1*1,

the area of whose faces is 6) typifies the center of all

manifestations, the abode where the God dwells-alone, isolated.

This central unit is also the reservoir wherein are collected and

unified all the diverse powers of manifestation. It is the secret

place of the most high, typified by the altar-top whereon rested

the Shekhinah [ShKINH]. It is that central reality concerning

which all revelation is made, and of which all seers and sages sa

y 'Lo, Behold!" [PFC, The Flaming Cube, Light of the Chaldees,

page ?]

AGB agab. Through, by means of. A proposition signifying an

agency that applies to 6 and Tiphareth as the mediator between the

higher aspects of the Life-power and those which are subordinate.

Found in Rabbinical Books but not the Bible.

DB dab. a bear, she bear, Name of a constellation.

ABBA Abba. The Greek transliteration of Hebrew [ABA], Father.

This spelling occurs often in later Hebrew. It refers to the

essential unity of Tiphareth with Chokmah. Title of Chokmah. see

3, 4, 73.

7 (prime)

Names for the number 7: 148, 525, 710.

The number of vertebrae in the human neck.

Numerical value for the symbol of Sulfur.

Seven relates to the diameter of the Archetypal World. The

diameter is what determines the size of a circle. These words

shed some light upon the Qabalistic conception of the

characteristic or determining qualities of this plane of cosmic

seed-thoughts, which corresponds to the element of FIRE. Seven

express solemn intention. 7 = mastery, conquest, peace safety,

security. Conquest is the result of carrying definite purpose into

action. Peace follows conquest, and conquest itself leads to the

establishment of equilibrium between two contending forces. ("Two

contending forces and one reconciler between them"). Key 7

symbolizes a power which can establish harmony, can bring order

out of chaos. It is a power of adaptation and adjustment. Also:

Equilibrium (the result of equilibration; the concrete application

of the laws of symmetry and reciprocation), poise, rest, art,

victory.

"Panteuchia", furnished with every kind of armor." was a

pythagorean name for Gimel. The disposing intelligence.. is

closely related to the uniting intelligence; and in the 6th Tarot

key it is clearly shown that the woman is the means of union with

the superconsciousness, or angel.

"Living from that will, supported by its unfailing wisdom and

understanding, mine is the Victorious life."

Z Zain. "...it is no coincidence tht the letter Zain is the

symbolic representatve of both sustenance and armament. The two

concepts are related to each other. The letter Zain is shaped like

a spear, indicating that man's sustenance is obtained by his

struggle [The Wisdom of the Hebrew Alphabet, Rabbi Munk].

Fabre D'Olivet writes: "This character as consonant, belongs to

the hissing sound, and is applied as onomatopoeic means, to all

hissing noises, to all objects which cleave the air. As symbol, it

is represented by the javelin, dart, arrow, that which tends to an

end: As grammatical sign, it is the demonstrative sign, abstract

image of the link which unites things. The Hebrew does not employ

it as article; but in Ethopic, it fulfills the functions of the

demonstrative article." [The Hebrew Tongue Restore, p. 339]

GD gad. Good fortune, luck, a tribe of Israel [Genesis 30:11],

Hebrew trib associated with Aries. Attributed to the function of

sight, with calcination, the first stage of the Great work (see

95, 30, 570, 501, 54, 331, 830, 395). Coriander is the name of

the Babylonian god of Good fortune, similar to Jupiter. The path

joining Chesed to Netzach is that of the letter Kaph, attributed

to Jupiter. In astrology Venus is the Lesser Fortune, as Jupiter

is the Greater. The Life-power always expresses itself in ways

that are God, in forms that are Beneficent (see 10, 44). ROOT: a

sign of abundance born of division.

ABD ahbad. to scatter, to disperse, to lose oneself, to wander, to

be lost, perish, ruined. A word used in the Old Testament to

indicate the "lost sheep of the House of Israel." This corresponds

to the negative meaning of Zayin, the sword, as a destructive

weapon. What is lost, as a sheep from a flock, is separated from

its proper companions and from its environment, and this agrees

with the idea of division suggested by Zain.

In its meaning to scatter, to disperse, it suggest dissemination

or sowing. It diffuses, spreads, distributes and apportions. The

archetypical world is the great reservoir of seed-forms, these

being the platonic ideas. Symbolized by Yod, the male, sperm-

giving principle of the Universe.

DBA dabah. influx, to flow in, prosperity, riches. This influx

into the seeds of a forms which is the Mezela [MZLA] or influence,

is the source of all riches (see 78).

DBA dobeh. strength, affluence; rest, quiet, compare with the

meaning given to the number 7.

DAB dahab. to melt away, become faint, pine away, sorrowful,

languish. There is a craving within the No-thing which causes in

itself the will to create something.

DG dahg. A fish. The root-meaning of DG is "to multiply

abundantly". This is the singular form of the plural noun [DAGIM].

Dagim, fishes. It is the name of the Pisces where Venus is

exalted. and Jupiter rules. This intimates that the powers

represented by 4 (Chesed) and 7 (Netzach) are related (see 57, 70,

700, 175). Dagah [DGH], to grow, to multiply, to become numerous,

to spawn like fish, is derived from [DG]. It is used in Genesis

48:16. It is an occult reference to the infinite potentiality of

the archetypal world, the plane of original ideas (see 12, 22, 14,

21, 44, 66, 28, 88).

AV ow. desire, will, appetite; choice. All are attributes of

Sulfur, the 2nd Alchemical principle (see 693, 73, 290). It is

also used as a conjunction signifying: or, either, but, if,

perhaps (suggesting uncertainty). The motive power of the Life-

power's self-manifestation is its desire to actualize its own

possibilities. "Either" and "Or" implies choice, selection,

decision, the shaping of a course, the singling out of particular

modes of expression. Thus AV connotes desire combined with

decision.

Fabre D'Olivet comments: The potential sign [A] united to the

universal convertible sign [V], image of the mysterious link which

joins nothingness to being, constitutes one of the most difficult

roots to conceive which the Hebrew tongue can offer. In proportion

as the sense is generalized, one sees appear all ideas of

appeteble, concupiscible passion, vague desire.

BDA bahdah. to form, to devise, produce, invent; fabricate. The

archetypal phase of the creative process is imagination, inventing

a new forms of self-expression. The archetypal world is the plane

of original ideas. In the negative sense, to feign, to pretend, to

counterfeit.

HAA haa. 26th name of Shemhamphorash, short form, associated with

the 2nd quinance (6

-10

) of Sagittarius.

AHA Aha. Notariqon of Adonai Ha-Eretz, the Divine name of

Malkuth, meaning "Lord of the Earth." (see 361).

AGG agag. "flame." The proper name Agag.

BH. in her.

8 (2*2*2) The Ogdoad

Names for the number 8: see 15, 370, 585, 720.

I look forward with confidence, to the perfect realization of the

eternal of the limitless light.

The motion of the Great Magical Agent is serpentine because it is

both wavy, or undulating, and spiral. This coiling, spiral,

vibratory motion of the serpent power is one reason for

association it with the number 8, for 8 is a numeral symbol of

rhythmic vibration. Thus in writing a figure 8 we make the same

curved lines which are shown in the Caduceus of Hermes excepting

0, 8 is the only figure that can be written over and over again

without lifting the pen from the paper. Thus it is a sign of

endless activity.

8 is called the Dominical Number, or special number representing

Christ. It is also a symbol for the Holy Spirit, sometimes

described as a feminine potency. This is the reason the 8 in Key 1

and Key 8 is placed in a horizontal, or feminine, position.

8 symbolizes the ancient doctrine that all opposites are effects

of a single cause, and that balanced, reciprocal action and

reaction between opposites results in harmony. Pythagoreans even

called 8 Harmonia. This is a great practical secret of Ageless

Wisdom.

***The extension of 8 is 36. The complete expression of 8 may be

understood to be the perfect manifestation of the power of the

Ego, because 36 is 6*6. By adding the digits of 36 we see**. Thus

we see that the essential result of the theosophical extension of

[text ends].

The curves are reciprocal and alternating. Thus 8 expresses

perfectly the repetition of equal and complementary parts. The two

curves represent the paths of involutions and evolution, the

descending curve for involution, and ascending curve for

evolution.

Ch Cheth. Fence, field; the eighth Hebrew letter assigned to

Cancer, the intelligence of the House of influence, to the

chariot, Key 7 in the Tarot and to the direction east-below on the

Cube of Space, as well as to alchemical separation (95, 1360). It

is the sign or symbol for the faculty of speech. "The character

for Cheth is similar to that for Heh, but the line on the left is

joined to the cross bar. Qabalists consider that this character is

a combination of Daleth and Vav, so that its concealed numerical

value is 10. Thus, by number, this character refers to the letter

Yod, and also Malkuth, the Kingdom, of tenth Sephirah. It is said

also to be the sign of the combination of the 4th and 6th

Sephiroth, Mercy and Beauty. Hebrew words corresponding to 10

include the following: AHD, to be united, unity; ATh, gently,

softly, secretly, an enchanter; BDD to divide, separateness,

separation; BZA, to cleave asunder; GBH, elevated, exalted, high;

DAH, flew, soared; HH, window, the name of the fifth letter; ChB,

hidden place, bosom. The numeral correspondence between these

words is the symbol of a relationship between them. You should

endeavor to work out these concealed relationships." [Tarot

Practice Course]

Elsewhere PFC writes: "Since the phoenicians carried their

alphabets to the great centers of civilization in the ancient

world, most of the symbols have undergone many alterations. To

this rule, however, Cheth the eighth letter, as a notable

exception. In the oldest records it consists of two, upright,

joined by either two or three cross-bars. The character used in

Greek inscriptions found at thera, and in one of the earliest

Latin alphabets, is composed of two rectangles, one above the

other. A variation of the Aramaic script interlocked into western

India after the conquest of Darius indicates Cheth by two vertical

lines with a single cross-bar at the top. A similar form appears

in modern Hebrew. It is also interesting to find that as early as

500 B.C. in north western Arabia, astele commemoration the

establishment of an aramaic divinity was written in an alphabet

having a character for Cheth identical with the modern 'H'. The

phoenician pictograph probably represented field, surrounded by a

rectangular fence. It therefore suggest the same notions of

particular location, enclosure, and specialized effort which are

associated with the letter Beth. We may expect, on this account,

to learn that the Tarot trump to be considered in this chapter

symbolizes the same root ideas that are brought to mind by the

picture of the magician. All cabalistic interpretations of Cheth

agree that the letter stands for something that necessitates

labor. Fabre D'Olivet was not always certain of his philology, but

he was a thorough kabbalist; so that, while we must nearly always

reject his views as a alphabetical origins we can often accept his

explanation of the esoteric significance of the Hebrew letters. He

says of Cheth: "This letter is the sign of the elementary

existence; it is the image of a kind of equilibrium, and attaches

itself to ideas of effort, of labor, and of normal and legislative

action. It is a symbol of that which requires the expenditure of

strength of power; and it implies that the energy so used is

directed to a definite end. Behind all these notions is the idea

that the field stands in opposition to the worker. At the

beginning of his labors it presents difficulties, even dangers. In

its original state it gives trouble. It offers problems and

puzzles that must be solved and mastered. After it has been

brought under control it co-operates, in a manner of speaking,

with the worker; but first of all it must be overcome by 'normal

and legislative action.' The outcome of such action is the

establishment of order. Putting things in order is, in fact, the

great secret of human achievement. No matter what you do, before

you can succeed you must get rid of disorder somewhere. The more

recondite significance of Cheth is related to the doctrine that

this letter is a sign of elementary existence. The word

'elementary' as used by Fabre D'Olivet, means rudimental. What he

speaks of is what the alchemist called their first matter, or

chaos. The latter word implies disorder, Webster defines it as

'the confused, unorganized state of primordial matter before the

creation of distinct and orderly forms! [The Secret Doctrine of

the Tarot, The Word, June 1917, pp 144-144]

Cheth is used in technical terms to refer to drawing forth

knowledge hidden in the subconsciousness, to the elucidation of

mysteries, to the bringing of concealed meanings to the surface.

"The form of the letter Cheth resembles a gateway. Through a

gateway one enters and exits. One enters into an inner realm or

chamber, a deeper state of awareness, a truer level of experience.

One exits to return to one's pervious, stable state of existence,

infused with the light of one's new experience." [The Alef-Beit,

Rabbi Ginsburgh]

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "Cheth E. H. CH. This character can be

considered under the double relation of vowel or consonant. As

vocal sound it is the symbol of elementary existence and

represents the principle of vital aspiration: as consonant it

belongs to the guttural sound and represents the field of man, his

labor, that which demands on his part any effort, care, fatigue.

As grammatical sign it holds an intermediary rank between Heh,

life, absolute existence, and Kaph, life, relative and assimilated

existence. It presents thus, the image of a sort of equilibrium

and equality, and is attached it ideas of effort, labor, and of

normal and legislative action. [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.346]

AZ Awz. into that place, there; at that time; therefore. A

demonstrative particle which originally meant "in that place,

there." From this basic meaning, transferred to time, it came to

mean "at that time, then," and was used in reference to both past

and future. AZ is used in Hebrew as "then" is employed English to

indicate a casual relationship, like "therefore," or "on that

account." All meanings of the word imply relationship, and

designate some tie or connection of thought or activity between

this

place and that, this time and that (whether considered as

being the cause of this event, or an effect or consequence yet to

come. Additional meanings: whether, also, if.

Fabre D'Olivet adds: This root, but little used in Hebrew

designates a fixed point in space or duration; a measured

distance. It is expressed in a restricted sense by the adverbial

relations there or then. The Arabic characterizes a sort of

locomotion, agitation, pulsation, bubbling movement. As a verb it

has the sense of giving a principle; of founding. The Chaldic AZA

expresses a movement of ascension according to which a thing is

placed above another in consequence or this specific gravity. The

Ethopic AZZ develops all ideas of command, ordination,

subordination." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 291]

DBB dadab. to go softly, to creep along, to flow gently; as wine

poured carefully from a wineskin. Derived from it is the negative

meaning, "to slander to disparage," based on the idea of the

sneaky, creeping progress of a tale bearer. There is here also

some hint of the serpent symbolism associated with Hermes (see 15,

2080, 217, 412, 421, 567, 626, 131).

DD Dad. the breast (of women) as the seat of love. Self-

consciousness is the aspect of mental activity which makes

possible the higher aspects of love and affection. It makes man

able to relate cause and effect. It is what makes him a time-

binder, uniting past and present and future. Also nipple, teat,

nipple of citrus fruit; tap.

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "Every idea of abundance, and division;

of propagation, effusion and influence; or sufficient reason,

affinity and sympathy. DD, that which is divided in order to be

propagated; that which acts by sympathy, affinity, influence,

literally breast. The Arabic indicates a pleasing thing, game, or

amusement." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, page 320]

AVA ava. Given, without explanation, by Mathers, in [Sepher

Sephiroth, p. 1]. This word is not found in scripture or the

Hebrew Lexicon and may be a notariqon.

ABH ahbaha. to desire, want or need; to consent; be willing.

Ebeh. reed, papyrus.

AGD ahgad. to bind or collect; tie, knot, bundle.

AGD ehged. bunch, bundle, tie, knot; union.

AHB ahab. to love; love relationship, to be fond of, beloved.

AHB ehab. lust or desire.

ZA Za. Notariqon for Zauir Anpin, ZOIR ANPIN. the Lesser

Countenance, or Microprosopus, a designation for Tiphareth (see

478).

BAH bah. entrance, threshold.

HBA heba. bring.

DAG dag. to be anxious, the proper name Doeg.

Beth-Vav [B/V] Mercury in Taurus

9 (3*3) The Ennead

Names for the number 9: see 80.

9 is the number of the Foundation, that is the basis of the

Invisible, of its conjunction with our physical world. Every

number which can be numerically reduced to 9 is linked to the 3

ways of initiation: 9 = 3+3+3, way of rigor (Fire), way of

balance, and way of Mercifulness (Water).

Perfection or finish in the sense of 9 months of gestation for a

human. Representing the ongoing cycle as the last number of a the

series and therefore completion.

"In thought and word and deed, I rest my life, from day to day

upon the sure foundation [Yesod] of eternal being." (Pattern on

the Trestleboard) see 775.

Th Teth. Serpent, the ninth Hebrew letter, associated with Leo,

with the Intelligence of the Secret of All Spiritual Activities,

with the direction North-Above on the Cube of Space, and with

alchemical digestion (see 419). "The Phoenicians indicated that

letter Teth by a circle enclosing a cross, a similar character for

the ninth letter appears in other ancient alphabets, and it

survives in a modified from to this day, as the Greek Theta. The

object represented is a tally, hence the first idea the letter

suggest is counting. Now, counting is the beginning of exact

knowledge, and the measuring rod is the true wand of miracles; for

numeration is the basis of all arithmetic, arithmetic is the

foundation of mathematics, and upon mathematics the whole

structure of science is reared.. of.. number-puzzles, the symbol

for Teth is a good example. The clue to its meaning is the

mathematical relation between the diameter and the circumference

of a circle. Approximately, this is as 1 to 3 1/7. The number 7,

therefore is the only integer which, taken as a diameter, will

correspond to a circumference that may be represented by a whole

number; and a circle with a diameter of 7 will have a

circumference of 22. Thus the symbol for Teth, because it has two

diameters, will suggest to the initiated the sum of twice 7 plus

22, which is the solar number 36. Numerically, then, this

character corresponds to the sun. [More quote but was cut off].

The form of Teth is "inverted," thus symbolizing hidden, inverted

good-as expressed in the Zohar, "its good is hidden within it."

The form of the letter Teth symbolizes the union of the groom and

the bride consummating with conception. The secret of the Teth

(numerically equivalent to nine, the nine months of pregnancy) is

the power of the mother to carry her inner, concealed good--the

fetus--through the periond of pregancy [The Alef-Beit, Rabbi

Ginsburgh].

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "This character, as consonant, belongs to

the dental sound. As symbolic image it represents the shelter of

man; the roof that he raises to protect him; his shield. As

grammatical sign it is that of resistance and protection. It

serves as link between Daleth and Tav, and partakes of their

properties, but in an inferior degree." [The Hebrew Tongue

Restored, p.356]

AZA azza. to kindle, to heat. see 8 (AZ).

ACh achah. fire-pot, hearth, chafing dish, fire place. Also

brother, relative, one, someone. With different vowel points,

meadow, pasture; Also an interjection, cry of woe, AH!, Alas! Woe!

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "The potential sign united to that of

elementary existence Cheth [Ch], image of the travail of nature,

produce a root whence results all ideas of equilibrium, equally

identity, fraternity. When the sign Cheth characterizes

principally all efforts, the root ACh takes the meaning of its

analogues AG, AK, and represents a somewhat violent action. It

furnishes then all ideas of excitation, and becomes the name of

the place where the fire is lighted, the hearth. ACh, Brother,

kinsman, associate, neighbors: The common hearth where al

assembled. The arabic [word] contains all the meaning attributed

to the Hebrew ACh." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored. page 291]

BBH babah. cavity, something hollowed out, the apple of the eye,

apple.

BGD beged. to cover, a cloak, covering, dress, garment; treachery,

deceit, betrayal, unfaithfulness. With different vowel points: to

act or deal treacherously. [N.B. Daleth, Gimel, Beth are the first

of the 7 double letters; and the other 4 are Kaph, Peh, Resh, Tav

(700), the cover (Kapporath) of the ark of the covenant = mercy

seat (Ezekiel 25:17)]

GV gav. middle; midst, inside, center.

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "GI, GV, GH. The organic sign united

either to that of life, or to that of universal convertible force,

or to that of manifestation, constitutes a root which becomes the

symbol of every organization. This root which possesses the same

faculties of extension and aggrandizement that we have observed in

the root GA, contains ideas apparently opposed to envelopment and

development, according to the point of view under which one

considers the organization.

The Arabic [word] indicates universal envelopment, space,

atmosphere; [Arabic word] characterizes that which protects.

GHH That which organizes; that which gives life to the organs:

health, and metaphorically, medicine.

GVH. Every kind of organ dilated to give passage to the vital

spirits, or closed to retain them: every expansion, every

conclusion: that which serves as tegument; the body, in general;

the middle of things: that which preserves them as, the sheath of

a sword; etc."

HD had. a sounding again, an echoing shout, shout, noise; echo.

Variant spelling of HVD Hod, meaning: majesty, elegance; beauty,

splendor (see 15).

Fabre D'Olivet comments: HD, like the root AD, of which it is only

a modification, it is attached to all ideas of spiritual

emanation, the diffusion of a thing absolute in its nature as the

effect of sound, light, voice, echo. The Hebraic root is found in

the Arabic root [word] which is applied to every kind of sound,

murmur, noise; but by natural deviation the arabic root having

become onomatopetic and idiomatic, the [aramic] verb signifies to

demolish, cast down, overthrow by similitude of the noise made by

the thing which are demolished." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, page

328]

D/H Daleth-Heh. Venus in Aries.

VBA vebaw. "future, coming."

BDG dahg. "to multiply abundantly."

BVA bevah. to enter, alight, to come into, till one comes.

BAV. In desire.

GAH ga'ah. to swell, grow, rise or increase, become powerful,

exalted, glorious; to be lifted up. These are activities of Yesod,

or Foundation, the Pure Intelligence. "So called because it

purifies the essence of the sephiroth, proves and preserves there

images, and prevent them from loss by their union with itself."

(see 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63 72, 81, 90, 80, 369, 3321).

AVB aob, ob. Magic. ghost conjurer, sorcerer; to mumble, a

ventriloquist. The forced used in the Magic of Darkness. Also skin

bag, i.e., implying pregency.

ADD adad. to endure, to last, continue, era, duration, space and

time.

BGD beged. covering, garment, robe; concealment.

10 (2*5)

Σ4 = 10

The number 10 is an all-embracing number. Outside of it there

exists no other, for what is beyond 10 returns again to units." A.

Moses Cordovero- ???[PRDS RMVNIM].???

One Greek name for 10 was Pantelia, signifying "all complete," or,

"fully accomplished." Westcott says: "Note that ten is used as a

sign of fellowship, love, peace and union, in the Masonic third

token, the union of two five points of fellowship." Ten is also

the number of complete manifestation, according to the Qabalist."

Qabalist consider that the letter Cheth is a combination of Daleth

and Vav, so that its concealed value is 10, thus by number, this

letter refers to the letter Yod and also to Malkuth, the Kingdom,

the 10th Sephirah. It is said also to be the sign of the

combination of the 4th and 6th Sephiroth Chesed and Tiphareth."

"The Kingdom of Spirit is embodied in my flesh." [Pattern on the

Trestleboard].

Value of the Greek letter I (iota), the 8th letter of the

alphabet. In the Pistis Sopina it is said "Iota (I) because the

universe hath gone forth..." Parts of the Greek Mystery phrase I-

A-Omega. see 811.

I Yod. Yod is the foundation of the letters and resembles a

tongue of flame, symbolizes the flame of spiritual energy which is

present in all forms of the Life-power's self-expression.

"The tenth letter of the Alef-Beit, Yod, is barely larger than a

dot and it cannot be divided inot component parts. It alludes to

God, Who is One and Indivisible, for although his attributes seem

to be numerious and even contradictory, they flow from a unified

purpose and existence [The Wisdom of the Hebrew Alphabet, Rabbi

Munk].

Yod is a Hebrew noun meaning "the hand of man." Thus it is

directly connected with the ancient doctrine: The primary and

fundamental Reality of the universe is identical with the power

expressed by the handiwork of human beings.

The upper point of Yod represents the Primal Will, while the rest

of the letter corresponds to the aspect of the Life-power named

Wisdom. This means that all mental activity is derived directly

from the essential Will of the One Identity, and this mental

activity, or volition, takes form as the Wisdom which is the basis

for the entire cosmic order. Furthermore, the mental activity of

the Primal Will, symbolized by the upper point of Yod, expands

into the life-force of all beings, and this life-force is fiery.

****The Power manifested in the reproductive function, not the

function itself. It is Chaiah [ChICh] the universal Life-force.

The specific expression of Chaiah we control and direct by occult

practice is, indeed, that which energizes the reproductive organs

from the Mars center. Its control is effected indirectly, by

mental activities, which automatically bring about the required

sublimation. The work begins by simple concentration. This

established, meditation follows. Yod is the channel of God's will

[Zohar I, page 11]. The path of Yod connects Chesed (cosmic

memory) and Tiphareth (imagination) on the Tree of Life (see 23,

90, 18).

Heh [HH]. The letter name Heh. Window. Woe, alas. The first Heh

represents insight, or the Life-power's own knowledge of itself.

The second Heh is a symbol of foresight, directed toward the

outcome of necessary consequences following from what insight

reveals (see 514). It is written that creation took place with

the letter Heh (understand 'takes' where you read 'took' for there

is no time but an eternal present, for the One). Now Heh is the

letter of vision, and it is spelled by its own self-duplication,

that is, HH. Of these the first is the sign of the waters of

Binah, and the second is the sign of the earth of Malkuth. Each is

by number the half of the paternal Yod, for Heh is 5 and Yod is

10, thus may you see in the first Heh the Sephiroth from Kether to

Geburah, and the second, those from Tiphareth to Malkuth. The

whole tree is thus expressed by the name of this one letter. The

first Heh is insight, the second is the same vision, tuned outward

into manifestation [text ends]

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "This character is the symbol of all

manifested power. It represents the hand of man, the forefinger.

As grammatical sign, it is that of potential manifestation,

intellectual duration, eternity. This character, remarkable in its

vocal nature, loses the greater part of its faculties in becoming

consonant, where it signifies only a material duration, a

refraction, a sort of link as Zain, or of movement as Shin.

Plato gave particular attention to this vowel which he considered

as assigned to the female sex and designated consequently all that

which is tender and delicate.

The Hebraist grammarians who rank this character among the

heemanthes, attribute to it the virtue of expressing at the

beginning of words, duration and strength; but it is only a result

of its power as sign. [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.361]

HH Letter name Heh. Woe, alas. The first Heh represents insight,

or the Life-power's own knowledge of itself. The second Heh is a

symbol of foresight, directed toward the outcome of necessary

consequences following from what insight reveals (see 514).

ATh ate. gently, softly, secretly, slow. Also an enchanter,

soothsayer, mutterer, magician, sorcerer. see 220.

Fabre D'Olivet: "This root is scarcely used in Hebrew except to

describe a sound or a slow, silent movement. The arabic [word]

expresses any kind of murmuring noise. ATh a magic murmur;

witchcraft, enchantment." [The Hebrew tongue restored, p. 292].

AHD ohad. unity; to be united. Also a personal name.

BDD badah, bawdahad. to divide, separation, separateness,

separately; to scatter; alone, isolated, in a lonely state (see

6).

BZA baza, bawzah. to cleave asunder, destroy; to divide, cut

through, spoil.

GBH gabah, gobah. height, altitude; exaction, pride, haughtiness

[Psalm 101:5, Proverbs 16:5]. Also GBH (Gawboah) high, tall,

lofty, exacted, elevated and GBH to collect payment, GBH eyebrow.

see 144.

GZ gaz, geaw. Fleece; the shorn wool; shearing; mowing, mowed

grass; field for mowing. Referring to Aries, the Ram to which the

letter Heh is attributed. Fabre D'Olivet: "The root AZ, which

indicated the movement of that which tends to take away, united to

the organic sign, constitutes a root whose use is to characterize

the action by which one suppresses, takes away, extracts every

superfluity, every growth; thence GVZ, the action of clipping

wool, shaving the hair, mowing the grass; taking away the tops of

things, polishing, roughness. The arabic [word] has the same

meaning as the Hebrew. the verb *** is applied in the modern idiom

that which is allowable and lawful." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored,

p. 313]

ZAB zab. to be yellow, a wolf. [Jeremiah 5:6] "Therefore a lion

out of the forest shall slay them, and a wold of the evening shall

spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: everyone that

goeth out thence shall be torn to pieces: Because their

transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.

Fabre D'Olivet: "ZAB, a wolf, on account of the luminous darts

which flash from its eyes in the darkness." [The Hebrew Tongue

Restored, p.339] see ZA (8)

ChB Chobe. Fabre D'Olivet: "The sign of elementary existence

united to the root AB, symbol of all fructification, forms a root

whose purpose is to describe that which is occult, hidden,

mysterious, secret, enclosed, as a germ, as all elementary

fructification: if the root AB is taken in its acceptation of

desire to have, the root in question here, will develop the idea

of an amorous relation, or fecundation. This is why the arabic

[word] taken in a restricted sense, signifies to love; whereas in

a broader sense this root develops all ideas of grain, germ,

semence, etc. ChB or ChBB to hide mysteriously, to impregnate, to

brood, etc. In a restricted sense, the arabic [word] signifies to

become partial, to favor. As onomatopoeic root [word] suggest the

noise of whetting a sabre." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 346]

ThA ta. to sweep away (Godwin). This word is not found in

scripture or the Hebrew Lexicon. However, Fabre D'Olivet writes:

"Every idea of resistance, repulsion, rejection, reflection; that

which causes luminous refraction. The arabic [word] develops the

idea of every kind of bending, inflection. Thence the verb *** to

blow down." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 356]

BGH bagah. to cover, a cloak, treachery, deceit.

ChB khobe. hiding place, bosom. Cheth/Beth. Mercury in Cancer.

DAH dawaw. to fly, to soar.

DV du. two; (the prefix) bi-.

ZAB zab. to be yellow, a wolf.

ZG zawg. skin of a grape; husk, shell.

see 7, 44, 164.

11 (prime)

DHB dahab. Gold (Aramaic). Conceals an alchemical secret. Daleth

(Venus) Cheth (a sign ruled by the Moon) and Beth (Mercury).

Venus, Luna, and Mercury are the alchemical copper, silver and

quicksilver. The first two are the best conductors of electricity.

One the tree these correspond to the Paths which balance those

corresponding letters of AVD. DChB is one of the alchemical name

for the perfect red stone which is ABN HADM and also ADM (103, 53,

157). The Red Stone is also termed GPRITh (sulphur, 693).

ChG haga. circularity of form or motion; a feast, festival;

sacrifice. The magic force moves in cycles, it comes back to its

starting point -it WHEELS, so to say. For this reason every

magical ritual is performed within a circle (see 789).

GDD gawdah. to tear out, attack, to cut off, to cut; to pick

dates.

ZD zad. Proud, haughty; insolent; presumptuous.

ChBA chabah. to conceal; to hide oneself, to be hidden.

GVB gob. a locust; to dig; husband man.

ADV Ovd. The English equivalent of several Hebrew names among whom

was a prophet or seer [2 Chronicles 9:29, 12:15, 13:22].

AVD ode. the fire of the magic light, firebrand, the magic power.

Aleph is the divine Life-breath (RVCh), Vav is the link which

joins into all beings, and Daleth is the door of life through

which all things are manifested (see 207, 363, 89).

"Now the name ShDI EL ChI beginneth with the number 314, then

followeth 31, and ChI is 18. This bringeth the whole to 363, and

see, this is 11 times itself and multiplied again by 3. Now 11 is

AVD (Od) and 3 is Gimel. AVD is the magic power and Gimel is the

beginning of Guph the body. Aleph is the Breath, Vav is the Link,

Daleth is the Door of Life and is Nogah also, which giveth the

Victory. In Gimel or 3 is Recollection and Union, and for the

wise the letters of AVD speak with a loud tongue. In Yesod is all

this centered and they who know the secret of Yod, become the

extenders of the paternal Life and Light. Thus is Yesod called

the Sphere of the Moon, and that same Moon pertaineth also to

Gimel, the letter of Union. Blessed are they who hear and

understand, and understanding, live as they know... Note well the

warning implied. There are many who seek to be spiritual at the

expense of the body. They repudiate all that pertains to Yesod

because they misunderstand its real significance. You may have

wondered what this section of the Text has to do with the Astral

plane... Yet the Text points straight to the one thing, and that

is, that the mystery of the 9th Sephira is a secret of Yod." [27th

Communication 1/15/48]. see 343, 80, 214, 18.

" AVD. Positive emanation of the astral fluids or currents. It is

the double, the phantom electro-magnetic, but of an electricity

and a magnetism vitalized very strongly and related to the ether

of all living beings, even of the plants, the minerals and

crystals, which appear in a colored vapor in the darkness. And is

the manifestation of the intimate will of native, the magical

force, the astral forms of the universe center, the one which

becomes concrete in the innumerable types of the world, its forms

its imprints, the simple vestments of AVD or the astral. AVD is

the negative emanation and united these two make AVR, the

universal light, or the liquid Gold of the Hermetists." [note by

Lilli Gelse, circa 1920]

Fabre D'Olivet Comments: AVD: "That which is done because of or on

occasion of another thing: an affair, a thing, an occurrence. [The

Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 289]

AI ahyee. Where?, How? Look to the Life-breath (A) expressed as

Will (I) for the magic power. Also dry land, coast, country (Job

22:30), where one acts, where one is.

Fabre D'Olivet: "Power accompanied by manifestation, forms a root

whose meaning, akin to that which we have found in the root AV,

expresses the same idea of desire, but less vague and more

determined. It is no longer sentiment, passion without object,

which falls into incertitude: it is the very object of this

sentiment, the center toward which the will tends, the place where

it is fixed. A remarkable thing is, that if the root AV is

represented in its most abstract acceptation by the prepostive

relation or, the root AI is represented, in the same acceptation,

by the adverbial relation where." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.

292]

GCh Gimel/Cheth. Moon in Cancer.

HAGB hagan. "the means by"

HAGA hagehbeh. "the reservoir."

Greek: Earth (see also 2, 29, 38, 47, 56, 65, 74, 83).

12 (3*2*2)

VV Letter-name Vav. nail, hook, pin. Something to support

something else which hangs from it. Corresponding to Key 5, The

Hierophant. The 16th path of Vav "veils the name of Him, the

fortunate one" (HVA). Thus the Hierophant may be considered to be

a symbol for the cosmic self, Yekhidah acting as the inner teacher

of mankind. Vav represents also the Heart, seat of interior

hearing or the ego in Tiphareth, suggesting that the seed the 6th

Sephira is preexistent in Kether, the First. see 53, 177, 158,

508, 32, 168, 331, 506, 415, 6.

AVH avah. desire, longing [Book of Tokens, Vav, page 71]. With

different vowel points: to desire, wish, long for. Fabre D'Olivet:

"Action of longing ardently, desiring, inclining with passion."

[The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 290]

AZD azad. confirmed, concluded (Aramaic). In Daniel 2:5 and 2:8

the aramaic AVDA is used: the A.V. translation, "is gone," the

Jewish translation, "is certain." Also "He departed, he went

forth." Chaldean perhaps adj. "settled, firm, or decided." [C.F.

The Talmud AZDA LThOMIH "decided to his purpose" (Daniel 2). The

root perhaps akin to ShVTh IMD "to set", hence different from AVL,

which most prefer since D=L, as ROD=ROL, and so they render AVDA

MNI MLThA "the word (i.e. decree) is gone forth (i.e. has been

issued) from me."] From protestant Hebrew Dictionary.

ChBB chabab. to cover, protect, love (see 10, ChB).

AChAB ahab. [Jeremiah 29:21]. "Father's Brother." A prophet,

denounced by Jeremiah. The second king of the Omir dynasty and

early Israel's most conspicuous and important ruler (875-52 B.C.)

Standard Bible Dictionary.

HVA Hu or Hoa. He (3rd person singular), Lord. One of the Divine

Names associated with Kether. Hu or Hvan was a Druids name of the

Sun. Hu or Yu, a Babylonian God of the Sky, a very ancient God.

Compare with Jah, Jao [IAO], Jupiter, Allah, Hu.

Fabre D'Olivet: "In a broad sense, the Being; the one who is: in a

particular sense, a being; the one of whom one speaks, represented

by the pronominal relations he, that one, this." [The Hebrew

Tongue Restored, p. 328]

ChD khad. sharp. Fabre D'Olivet: "The power of division,

expressed by the root AD which, arrested by the effort which

results from its contraction with the elementary sign Cheth,

becomes the image of relative unity. It is literally, a sharp

thing, a point, a summit. The Arabic [word] presents in general,

the ideas of terminating, determining, circumscribing, limiting.

it is, in a more restricted sense, to grind; metaphorically, to

punish. This root being reinforced in the verb ***, expresses the

action of breaking through and excavating ground. As a noun it

signifies literally the check. The point of anything whatever.

Everything which pricks, everything which is extreme, initial:

metaphorically, a drop of wine; gaiety, lively and piquant." [The

Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 347]

ZH zeh. This. Fabre D'Olivet: "Every demonstrative, manifesting,

radiant movement: every objective expressed in an abstract sense

by the pronominal relations this, that, these, those. [The Hebrew

Tongue Restored, p. 340]

DVB dub. A bear. The Aesch Mesch Mezareph [III, p. 24] says:

'Parzala [Iron-PRZLA, 318], whose lesser number is 12, is of the

same account as the name of that blood animal Dob, a Bear, whose

number is 12 also. And this is that mystical thing, which is

written [Daniel 7:5]: "And behold another beast, a second like

unto a bear, stood on its one side, and it had three ribs standing

out in his mouth, between his teeth; and thus they said to it

'arise, eat much flesh.'" The meaning is, that in order to

constitute the metallic kingdom, in the second place, iron is to

be taken; in whose mouth or opening (which comes to pass in an

earthen vessel) a threefold scoria is thrust out, from within its

whitish nature." see 318, 229.

BI bi. Please, pray! [Genesis 44:18] "Then Judah went up to him

[i.e. Joseph] and said, 'please, my Lord, let your servant speak a

word to my Lord. Do not be angry with your servant, though you are

equal to pharaoh himself.'". Fabre D'Olivet: "Root analogous to

the roots BV, BH. BA, which characterize the movement of a thing

which advances, appears evident, comes opens, etc. This applies

chiefly to the desire that one has to see a thing appear, an event

occur, and that one expresses by would to God!" [The Hebrew Tongue

Restored, p. 304]

GVG Gog. Gog; A prince of Magog, and descendant of Reuben (#259)

[1 Chronicles 5:4] "The descendants of Joel: Shemiah his son, Gog,

his son, Shimel his son..." Fabre D'Olivet notes this spelling as

GG means "That which extends to cover, to envelop... the roof of a

tent." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 311].

HBH Habah. A city of Edom, according to Mathers, in [S.S. p.2]

Not found in scripture.

GTh gat. Fabre D'Olivet: "This root is not used in Hebrew. The

arabic [word] denotes a thing which repulses the effort of the

hand which pushes it." Mathers also gives; a little book,

pamphlet, letter in [Sepher Sephiroth, p. 2].

DGH dagah. dwagh [DGH]. to grow, spawn, or multiply. (as noun) a

fish (fem.). As a verb: to move rapidly, to spawn, to become

numerous, to multiply. Note the combination of the idea of rapid

movement with that of the production of seed, or spawn. "A

feminine form of the nouns 'to multiply (like fish),' suggesting

the rapid multiplication of ideas in the mind which results from

contact with the inner teacher." [Gematria of the letter names].

D/Ch Daleth-Cheth. Venus in Cancer.

AChAB Ahab. Proper name see Jeremiah 29:21.

Gaza (Greek). Treasury, riches. Originally a Persian word. Refers

to the first path as the source whence all the riches of

manifestation are drawn (see 3, 20, 21).

13 (prime)

AChD echad, achad. Unity, one; alone, solitary. [Deuteronomy 6:4]

"Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord." The alchemical

first matter is ONE, and contains within itself all that is

needed.

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "The root, ChD, from which this word is

formed, and which is sometimes taken for unity, itself,

particularly in chaldaic, signifies literally: a point, a summit,

the sharpest part of a thing; the top of a pyramid. It is division

arrested, subjugated by a sort of effort as the two signs Daleth

and Cheth which compose it, indicate it. In the feminine it is

written, AChTh. [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. ?152?]. "The

potential sign united to that of elementary existence cheth, image

of the travail of nature, produces a root whence result all ideas

of equilibrium, equality, identity, fraternity. When the sign

Cheth characterizes principally an effort, the root ACh takes the

meaning of its analogues AG, AD, and represents a some what violet

action. It furnishes then all ideas of excitation and becomes the

name of a place where the fire is lighted, the hearth." [IBIQ, p.

291] see 273, 372, 384, 395, 400, 441, 600, 636, 740.

BHV bohu, bahu. emptiness, void, terror, chaos. The primary chaos

is the stuff thoughts are made of. The alchemist first matter is

also called a "void". Applied to the first state of the earth.

[Genesis 1:2] "And the earth was without form, and void, and

darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God

moved upon the face of the waters." Fabre D'Olivet comments: "An

abyss, a thing whose depth cannot be fathomed, physically as well

as morally (see HH). The arabic [word], as onomatopoeic root

characterizes astonishment, surprise. Arabic word *** which is

formed from it, designates that which is astonishing, surprising,

that which causes admiration." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.

302] see 19, 76, 411, 1152.

HGH hegeh. sound, muttering, thought or musing, to contemplate,

meditate [to read, pronounce, to remain]; rumbling moan, sigh;

rudder (of ship), [to utter sounds, speak, murmur, moan, growl,

coo]. The primary chaos is a mode of vibration closely related to

sound. Also: to divide, to separate dross.

AIB ayab. to violate; to asperse; a female enemy; hatred; to be

hostile, be an enemy of. "Hate", the opposite pole of Love. Both

are the same basic emotion. "Philosophers are said to extract

their stone out of seven stones, the two chief where of are of a

diverse nature and efficacy, the one infused invisible sulphur,

and the other spiritual mercury; one induceth heat and dryness,

the other cold and moisture. By this we gain the idea that sulphur

and Mercury are really invisible principles, operating in the

mixture, and while it is often portrayed as a 'love of the

element' it is manifestly a fight or mastery between opposite

principles [here note that AHBH, love is 13, which is also the

number of AChB; to violate, asperse, to act as an enemy], that is,

of heat and cold, dryness and moisture. [Here recall the words of

the Kybalion: "Opposites are identical in nature, but different in

degree; extremes meet, all truths are but half-truths; all

paradoxes may be reconciled.'] The heat and dryness eventually

conquer the cold and moisture, so that what was liquid passes

permanently into a dry state, but in the process the potency of

the fire principle is sublimated and intensified to a degree

unknown to modern science." [D.D. Brayant, The art of Alchemy, VI,

7, commentary by PFC]

ZV zoe. here, this; this one. Also: blossom, splendor. Fabre

D'Olivet comments: "Every demonstrative, manifesting, radiant

movement: every objectivity expressed in an abstract sense by the

pronominal relations this, that, these those. [see ZH]. The arabic

[word] expresses the action of shedding light, of shining." [The

Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 340]

ChGB chagab. to pluck off, eat; a locust, grasshopper.

DVG daog. a fisher, fisherman.

HDD haddad. the beast. see HD (9).

GHH gayhah. healing, health. Proverbs 17:22: "A merry heart doeth

good like a medicine." Fabre D'Olivet comments: "That which

organizes; that which gives life to the organs: health, and

metaphorically, medicine." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.312]

ABI abi. father.

AGDH aguddah. Collective unity, band, bunch, bundle, company; a

joining together, a vaulted arch, the sky. A unity composed of the

combination of parts.

DAGH dageh. anxiety, care, grief.

AHBH ahebah. love (esp. between sexes), beloved.

IBA yaba. "He shall come." Refers to the alchemical new man, a

GI. Valley. Chokmah 42 fold name in Yetzirah

14 (2*7)

Height of the great pyramid in proportion to the length of its

base line. Osirus body was divide into 14 parts.

AChH eychah. to join, stitch, piece together. See ACh.

DI dahy. sufficing; enough, sufficient.

DI Daleth/Yod. Venus in Virgo.

DVD dode. uncle; friend, relative; in medieval times, philosopher

DVD dude. pot, kettle, boiler. From a root meaning "to boil, to

be agitated." see 137 (Latin), 155, 805.

DVD David. beloved, lover, to love, to compose love songs,

friendship, caressing. With different vowel points: to receive, to

adopt, to comprehend, to contain; a basket. "The root of this

name is a Hebrew verb spelled with the same letters, meaning

primarily "to boil, to cook." Figuratively, it signifies "to

love," and is fundamentally a verb designating love between the

sexes. thus, "David" means "Love" or "Beloved." ...often the

alchemical books assure us that the Great Work, or operation of

the Sun, is nothing other than "coction," that is, cooking or

boiling. What the alchemist are hiding behind this veil of

language is the simple truth that love is the fulfilling of the

law, that the pure gold of the Absolute is found through the

working of the gentle heat of love, that the sacrifice of

sacrifices is a broken and contrite heart purified in the fires of

love, that only through love can the true pattern of that perfect

golden cube, the New Jerusalem, be rightly perceived and

understood." [True and Invisible, p. 138] see 107, 222, 155.

AThD ahtahd. a thorn, a spine, the piercer. The basic meaning is

phallic. Tradition associates AThD with christ's crown of thorns.

This seems to have little basis in fact, but is good symbolism

nevertheless. Also, "the fastening or the fastener." From a verb

"to pierce, to penetrate, to fasten in." Thorns are symbols of

union, connection, joining, fastening, association, accumulation

and aggeragation. These ideas are fundamental in relation to

Briah, the Creative World of Water, where archetypal ideas are

combined with each other. Note that the rose, a symbol of love,

has thorns. see 115.

DBCh debakh. A sacrifice, an offer, offering (aramaic). Both verb

and noun, refers to the sacrifice of animals. Symbolizes control

of the animal nature, energized by the Mars force. Refers to the

fact that the life-power offers itself in an act of creation.

HDH hahdah. to stretch forth the hand; to show the way; to seize,

lay hold of. Note the Daleth between the two Heh's. That self

offering is also a self-extension or self-direction. see 4, 104,

250, 41, 72, 86, 158.

GVH geyah. Body, or back. Root of GVIH substance, a body. see 24.

ID yad. hand. power, strength, place, monument. variant spelling

of letter name Yod. Fabre D'Olivet comments: "The sign of

potential manifestation, united to the root AD, image of every

emanation, of every divisional cause, forms a remarkable root,

whose purpose is to produce ideas relative to the hand of man. In

the literal and restricted sense, the hand; in the figurative and

general sense, it is the faculty, executive force, power of

acting, dominion: it is every kind of aid, instrument, machine,

work, term; administration, liberality, faith, protection: it is

the symbol of relative unity, and of the power of division; it is

the margin, boarder, edge; the point by which one grasp things; it

is the place, the point that one indicates, etc.[The Hebrew Tongue

Restored, p.363]

ZHB zahab. gold. Solar energy, the alchemical "gold", first

matter and medicine. The gold of enlightenment, the philosophical

gold which represents perfect verified truth (see 200, 440). Aesch

Mezareph, Qabalistic alchemical treatise, says that when ZHB is

written alone, without any qualifying adjectives "It is refereed

to Geburah, because gold cometh from the North." This is a

reference to Job 37:22 where the original has ZHB for the word

translated "fair weather" in the English Bible. North is assigned

to Geburah, the sphere of Mars. Like the Latin Aurun, which meant

originally "the burning thing," ZHB signifies primarily "That

which shines." as a verb ZHB means "to glitter like gold."

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "That which is shown, appears, shines,

reflects the light; in an abstract sense, an object. [The Hebrew

Tongue Restored, p.340] Basil Valentine: "He that knows exactly

this golden seed or magnet, and searcheth thoroughly into its

properties, he hath the true root of life, and may attain that

which his heart longs for, wherefore entreat all true lovers of

mineral science, and sons of art, diligently to inquire after this

metallic seed or root, and be assured that it is not an idle

chimera or dream, but a real and certain truth." Mrs. Atwood: "It

was from such an internal intimacy, and central searching of the

mystery, that the paracelsian ?crollius? tells us he came to know

that the same light and mineral vapor, which produces gold with

the bowels of the earth, is also in man [Virgo region], and that

the same is the generating spirit of all creatures." [A

suggestive Inquiry into Alchemy, p. 151]

GIA gay. deep gorge with lofty sides; rising ground. The "Earth"

of Geburah. One of the 7 earths in the diagram of the 4 seas, so

used it means "rising ground." Also undulating ground. Fabre

D'Olivet: "Valley, gorge, depth. The Arabic [word] indicates a

place where water remains stagnant and becomes corrupt through

standing." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.313] see 291, 50, 365,

105, 302, 432, 337.

DI dawy. Fabre D'Olivet comments: "The sign of natural abundance

united to that of manifestation, constitutes the true root

characteristic of this sign. This root develops all ideas of

sufficiency and of sufficient reason; of abundant cause and of

elementary divisibility. DI and DH: that which is fecund, fertile,

abundant, sufficient; that which contents, satisfies, suffices.

The Arabic [word] indicates, in general, the distribution of

things, and helps to distinguish them. The root [word] which

preserves a greater conformity with the Hebraic root DI, signifies

literally possession." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, pp.321-322]

HBHB habhahb. a gift; a sacrificial offering. Refers to the fact

that the Life-power offers itself in an act of creation (see

AThD].

alba (Gr). white. The feminine form of the adjective. As a noun,

the name of the mother city of Rome, and is some occult texts it

is used as an allusion to Amia (52). By sacrifice and

purification, or making white (Alba) the animal and love nature

(Mars-Venus) becomes ZHB, Gold. This is an alchemical Key.

see 7, 44, 21, 66, 28, 88, 6, 10, 22, 38.

15 (3*5)

Σ5 = 15

15 is the theosophical extension of 5. Thus Hod as a number,

denotes the full expression of the powers symbolized by 5.

1/168 of a "week of times" (2520 years).

HVD Hod. Splendor, Glory, the 8th Sephirah. From a Hebrew root

derived from a noun designating the female breast, thus expressing

ideas of nourishment, satisfaction of hunger (see 8, 2080). Hod

signifies prominence, eminence, importance. A consequence of

expansion from within of the essence of the 2nd sephirah Chokmah.

(Observe that on the Tree of Life, Chokmah and Hod are

diametrically opposite.) The Perfect intelligence, seat of the

personal intellect, is a focal point in which the will-force from

Geburah, the image-making power of Tiphareth and the desire-force

of Netzach are mingled (see 8, 2080). Connected with the

intellectual operations of human self-consciousness. The full

expression of the powers of Geburah (5), of which Hod is the

reflection. Theosophic extension of 5 and the powers of Heh, the

emperor. HVD may be read "Heh and Daleth," a combination of reason

(Emperor), imagination (Empress), and intuition (the Hierophant).

The desire for something different which disintegrates old forms

in its early stages (Peh, the path between Hod and Netzach). see

48, 193, 370, 550, 585, 720. "Give some thought to the Sephirah

Hod, whence this Path descends. Consider its name letter by

letter, in relation to the Keys of Rota. Then you may see that

HVD has through Rota a link with the Path through which the Mezla

descends to it from Geburah. Again, consider the gematria of HVD

and its relation to IH. Once again, H is the letter of the

Emperor and D the letter of the Empress, with V between them to

represent both AB and BN, and to intimate a conjunction also.

This should put you on the track of the deeper significance of the

31st Path. That is to say, insofar as the specific nature of the

descending influence is concerned." [39th Communication 3/8/48]

"Three other Truths, based upon the esoteric meaning of the

letters in the word Hod [HVD], are taught in the grade of

Practicus. They are: 4) The Emperor, Key 4: The original creative

power, the rational life that makes, frames and composes the

universe, directs every detail of cosmic manifestation, hence

there are no accidents. Nothing happens by chance. Consequently

every detail of any persons experience is a particular

manifestation of the directing power, a particular note in the

universal symphony. That directing power is the true seer of all

we see, the true knower of all we know, the supreme authority over

all creation. It only is the indivisible self... 5) The

Hierophant, Key 5: The self is enthroned above the level of

personal consciousness, and from that superior station directs by

its infallible word those who have to ears to hear... 6) The

Empress, Key 3: All substance is mental substance, hence all forms

are mental images. The production of mental images is the function

of the universal subconsciousness, and from that functions all

forms, on all planes, have their immediate origin." [Grade of

Practicus, pp. 194-195, True and Invisible] [Hermetic Museum I,

p. 59] "The intellect shall be silver, the memory golden." Paul

Case: "Note well, the moon is intellectual apprehension. Sun is

right recollection', viz. 'the collecting intelligence' of Path

30, or Resh. The end of the work at the red stage (sun) is really

a memory of something always true, but temporarily forgotten."

ZVB zub. to flow (as water), to melt, to gush. As a noun it

designates the menstrual flux of women. An overflowing, abounding.

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "Action of swarming insects; of boiling.

seething, as water." From the root AB. "The idea of reflected

movement contained in the root ZA united by contraction to that of

all generating propagation, represented by the root AB, forms a

root whose object is to depict every swarming, tumultuous

movement, as that of insects; or every effervescent movement as

that of water which is evaporated by fire." [The Hebrew Tongue

Restored, p. 339]

ChBH chabah. to cover, conceal, hide.

ABVHA Aboha. Angel of the 3rd decante of Sagittarius.

ABIB Abib. the month of Exodus and Passover and resurrection.

Its literal meaning is "blossom," or, "ear (of grain)." As the

month of "coming forth" from the symbolic "darkness of Egypt,"

Abib corresponds to Chokmah, as the first projection from Kether

(see 73). Corresponds to the sign of Leo where Sol has his abode.

[Deuteronomy 16:1] "Observe the month of Abib, and keep the

passover unto the Lord thy God: for in themeth of Abib the Lord

thy God brought thee forth our of Egypt by night."

IH Jah. Wisdom. The divine name attributed to Chokmah. A verbal

symbol of the dual potency which brings the whole Tree of Life

into manifestation Yod stands for AB, the Father. Heh stands for

Aima, the Mother. The short form of IHVH, used principally in

Hebrew poetry. "This does not mean that C.R.C. [At age 15] had yet

attained the Grade corresponding to the second circle. It does man

that the impels which stirs un into activity when we begin to long

for something higher than five-sense experience is one which

originates in the celestial wisdom. From this point on the Tree of

Life is known also to Qabalists as the 'Father', and it is the

image of the father in our minds which actually moves us, like the

prodigal son, to leave the limitations of the five-senses life,

and make a journey back home to the Holy Land."[Paul Case, True

and Invisible, find page # in new book]

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "IH. Absolute life manifested, eternity,

the eternally living being: God. The arabic [word] has lost all

the intellectual ideas developed by the Hebraic root, but the

Syriac [word] and the Samaritan [word], signify alike the Absolute

Being." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.363]

AID ayd. distress, calamity, misery, misfortune. Fabre D'Olivet:

a hand stretched out to me in it was a scroll, (10) which he

unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of

lamentations and mourning and woe." Fabre D'Olivet comments: "HI.

Root analogous to the vital root HH whose properties it manifests.

The arabic [word] represents the pronounial relation she, that,

this. As a verb, this root develops... the action of arranging, or

preparing things and giving them an agreeable form... HI

onomatopoeic root expressing all painful and sorrowful

affections." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.330]

ZCh zach. He who impels; to force, to move, to impel. Given in

Mathers in [Sepher Sephiroth, p.3]. This word does not occur in

scripture or the Hebrew Lexicon. However, Fabre D'Olivet writes of

the root: "ZH. Every difficult movement made with effort; that

which is done laboriously; a presumptuous, tenacious spirit. The

aramaic [word] develops the same idea. The verb... expresses in

general a vehement action of any nature whatsoever; an particular

to rain in torrents." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.341]

ChGD. a locust

GAVH ga'avah. elevation, majesty; also, arrogance, haughtiness,

direction. yet XV is composed of the numbers V (5) and X (10), the

Wheel of Fortune, the world of objective appearances and V, the

principle of consciousness.

GAIA. Roman goddess.

domination and authority derived from grasp of cosmic laws.

HIA hia. The personal pronoun SHE. Existence manifest through

Prakariti (Isis) or Nature. The Uniting Intelligence (Gimel) is

fish sticking to your scales." Fabre D'Olivet comments: "ChCh.

Every ideas of effort applied to a thing, and of a thing making

effort; a hook, fish-hook, ring; a thorn-bush. ChVCh that which is

349]

VI viy. Alas! woe. Fabre D'Olivet comments: "VI. onomotopoetic

1:4).

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "ThB. The sign of resistance united to

which is applied to al ideas of conservation and central

integrity: it is the symbol of healthy fructification, and of a

HZH hahzah. to dream; to rave. Fabre D'Olivet comments: The root

330]

ChVG khoog. to enclose, encompass; to describe a circle. In Job

26:10: "He hath encompassed the water with bounds." The American

translation: "He described a circle on the surface of the water."

What is meant is the horizon. As Emerson says, "The eye is the

first circle, the horizon which bounds it is the second." This is

connected with AIN, Ayin, the eye (see 130). Fabre D'Olivet

comments: "ChVG. action of whirling, dancing in a ring, devoting

6:11 " I went down to the grove of the nut trees to look at the

new growth in the valley, to see if the vines had budded or the

this passage refers to Yesod. The "seed-principle" is the clue to

the inner occult meaning.

ChThA chattaw. to miss the target; to sin. Fabre D'Olivet

comments: The root "ChTh. The sign of effort united to that of

resistance, constitutes a root whence come all ideas of frustrated

hope; of failure, sin, error. The arabic [word] signifies

properly to cut in small morsels; and **** to pose, depose; place,

replace: to lower, humble, reduce, etc. ChTh or ChThTh (intens.)

That which misses the mark, which is at fault, which sins in any

manner whatsoever. ChVTh (comp.) The root ThCh, symbol of effort

united to resistance, being considered from another viewpoint,

furnishes the restricted idea of spinning, and n consequence,

every kind of thread, and of sewing; so that from the sense of

sewing, comes that of mending; metaphorically, that of amendment,

restoration: whence it results that the word ChThA, which

signifies a sin, signifies also an expiation." [The Hebrew Tongue

Restored, p. 349]

DVCh davach. to purify.

Latin/Greek

Dei (Lt). of God (see 74, 126, 56).

P.D. (Lt). Initials of one of the founders of the Rosicrucian

order, according to the Fama Fraternitiatis.

19 (prime)

19 is the age at which brother C.R.C. finishes his initiatory

practices at Damcar, according to the Rosicrucian Fama. "...the

perfection of what amounts to a new vehicle for the God-self or

Christos... this age is symbolized by the 19th Key of the Tarot,

which shows a little boy and little girl, the children typify the

regenerated human personality, which turns its back on the wall of

the limitations of the five-sense consciousness and begins to

learn the first steps of the dance of life, in the fairy ring or

circle of the true christ-consciousness. [True and Invisible, find

page #]

ChVH Chavah. Eve (Life), "Mother of all Living." Also: to be,

exist, live, to say, relate, make manifest, to bend, to curve; a

round tent, a circle of tents, a village, one of the names of

Quicksilver.to show or declare. "Mother Eve personifies what

Hindus philosophy calls Prakriti, and what the Egyptians

worshipped as mother Isis. She is nature, the alchemical woman,

and the alchemical moon, or silver. In Key 19, she is pictured as

little girl, and the little boy is a symbol of the regenerated

selfconsciousness. The two are shown hand in hand, because at this

stage of development the manifesting power (Eve, Isis, Prakriti)

is transformed from the dark, terrible mother, into what is hinted

at in Proverbs 7:4 which reads: "say unto wisdom, thou are my

sister, and call understanding the Kinswoman" [See Lesser Holy

Assembly 21: 728-31 for commentary]... Nature is terrible to those

who do not understand her. To the initiated, regenerated

personality she is a joyous companion in the dance of life... When

one becomes a true initiate, the heavenly order is called 'little

sister,' for it perceived as being the macrocosmic manifestation

of the perfect law of liberty proceeding form the god-self

dwelling within, at the center. Our dance of life then

accommodates its measures of personal activity to the music of the

spheres. The mask of terror worn by the 'mysterious power,'

prakriti, it torn off." [OP. Cit. p. 128-130] see 20. Eve is

Heva, the serpent-principle, or life [D.D. Bryant]. "N.B. the

number 19 relates to the serpent principle through AVIB, an enemy,

or which AIVB, "Job", the earthly afflicted one, is a metathesis.

This number is also that of DIH, to be black. Thus Adam=red and

Eve=Black, and thus may it be said that blackness is the 'mother

of all living,' which brings us ever close to the truth, since

blackness is the absence of color, and represents what the Hindus

call Akasha, the primary mode of Prakriti, which is none other

than the black egg represented by zero, and by the abyss of Jacob

Boehme; which may be regarded as the universal subjective

consciousness, the first mother of first matter. Thus D.D.B.

speaks the exact truth when he says that the earlier stages in the

development of the stone can only be sensed, metaphysically,

apprehended by every subtle changes in the matter." [Paul Case on

D.D. Bryant's Art of Alchemy, VI, 6] see 45, 53, 139, 358.

"The bride is Malkuth, and Malkuth is 496, a perfect number.

Furthermore, 496 adds to 19, the number of ChVH, Eve, the Mother

who is also the Bride. In ChVH are beginning and end, for 1 is

beginning and 9 is end, and their sum is 10, the Kingdom. So is 10

the letter Yod also, and the Yod in IHVH stands for Chokmah, the

Father." [9th Communication, 5/15/47]. see 496, 89.

"...throughout the literature of ageless wisdom we have endless

repetitions of the thought that the worlds of form and brought

froth by sound, and continued by it. This doctrine is even hidden

in plain sight in the Hebrew scriptures, where Eve is said to be

the "Mother of all living.' The verbal form of this name means,

'To manifest, to show forth.' But the first letter of Eve in

Hebrew, is Cheth, and to this Qabalist attribute speech. The

second letter is Vau, attributed to the throat, where speech is

generated. The third letter is Heh, which indicates definition

(being the definite article) and also vision. Thus the very name

of Eve is, to a Qabalist, a formula of the creative process."

[Paul Case, 'Classic of Ageless Wisdom, 1931, page 28]

ChVH Chavah. This word is used in Genesis 3:20: "So Adam called

his wife's name Eve because she was the mother of all living.

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "Here is a name where the changing of the

vowel into consonant has caused a strange metamorphosis. The name

which, according to the allusion that Moses makes, ought to

signify, and signify effectively, elementary existence, being

derived from the absolute verb HVH to be-being, by the sole

reinforcement of the initial vowel Heh, into Cheth has come to

designate no more than a formless heap of matter, its aggregation,

its mass; and by the hardening of the convertible sign Vav

sanctioned by the Chaldaic punctuation, serves as verb only to

indicate the inert and passive existence of things. The change

brought about in the derivative verb HVH, has been even more

terrible in the absolute verb, ChVH; for this verb, destined to

represent the Immutable Being, expresses only an endless calamity,

as I have explained in speaking of the sacred name IHVH... As to

the reasons for the alterations undergone by this proper noun I

can only refer the reader to the name of the volitive faculty,

AShH [306] which, as we have seen, had preceded that of elementary

existence ChVH." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.117-118]

According to F.J. Mayers: " In Adam [45] as spiritual man, the

'intelligent principle' [AISh, 311] and its complementary, the

'volitive faculty' (ALSHA) were unseparated elements of one being.

But in physical humanity, 'AISH' becomes the male principle and

'ALSHA' the female. So in the physical state 'AISH' becomes

synonymous with 'Husband,' and 'AISHA' with 'wife' or 'woman'.

Thus the realization of sex-difference on the physical plane was

the means by which Adam became able to be 'fruitful and multiply'

and as every human being owes his or her being to his or her

mother 'AISHA,' becomes the 'mother' of all 'being' and Adam gives

her the new image 'Eve' 'Havah.' The name is derived directly from

the verb 'HOH' [HV-Ch or H-, unknown] = to be. By changing the

initial Heh into Cheth and making the Vau as 'O' [V] into a

consonant [V], the results is a work which denotes the

'realization; or 'materialization of being or beings.' [The

Unknown God, page 208]

Gaskell suggest that Eve, the wife of Adam is "A symbol of the

emotional-nature united to the mental-nature of the lower mind...

And the mind recognizes the life-principle within the soul to be

the emotion-nature, for it is the originator of former of all

qualities that subsist, that is, of all qualities that have in

them the germ of the higher life." [Dictionary of all Scriptures

and Myths, p. 254]

VBHV va-bohu. "and emptiness... chaotic condition." [Genesis

1:2]. Translated "and void." see ThHV (411). There must be a

reason for the use of two words which mean about the same thing

(see Bohu, 13).

In the Rosicrucian Fama, Brother C.R.C's 20th year was spent in a

journey from Damcar to Egypt, a short stay in that country, and

other journey to the place where he completed his work. see 444,

142 (Latin).

IVD Letter name Yod. Hand (as a formative power), creative hand.

The Qabalistic significance of IVD refers to it being a manual

operation [C.F. "Immanuel", or "God with us"], performed by the

aid of Mercury. But IVD must be rightly understood and all adepts

are careful not to unveil this secret. "Verily IVD is the seed of

all the letters, and if thou hast eyes to see, in IVD is the

secret of the covenant, and this secret is the Peh-Heh (PH), for

PH is 85, or HISVD, Ha-Yesod, the Foundation, and 85 is also MILH,

the covenant which removeth concealment form the paternal Yod."

[10th Communication 5/19/47] see 61, 80, 85.

K Kaph. Written in The Word

in September 1917 Case observes: "in

the pictorial alphabet of the early Semites, the sign for Kaph

represented the palm of the Hand. From this pictograph two sets of

implicits may be derived. The first is a development of ideas

connected with the fact that the palm is the active working part

of the hand, and all the implicits of this group have their origin

in the verb 'to grasp'. The second chain of association begins

with the universal belief that the palm is a map of life, which

affords a skilled reader an accurate record of the past, and

enables him to make a reliable forecast of future probabilities."

[The Secret Doctrine of the Tarot, p. 367]

The Kaph is composed of three connected lines with rounded

corners, forming the image of a crown lying on its side, as if

resting on the head of the king while in a state of prostration or

self-nullification...The literal meaning of Kaph is palm...placing

palm on palm is an act and sign of subjugation, similar to the act

of bowing before a king. Wheres in bowing one totally nullifies

one's consciousness in the presence of the King, in placing palm

on palm one enters into a state of supplication and prayer to the

King to reveal new will from His Supernal Crown (Will) to His

subjects. [The Alef-Beit, Rabbi Ginsburgh]

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "This character as consonant, belongs to

the guttural sound. As symbolic image it represents every hollow

object, in general; in particular, the hand of man half closed. As

grammatical sign, it is the assimilative sign, that of reflective

and transient life: it is a sort of mould which receives and

communicates indifferently all forms. This character is derived...

from the aspiration Cheth, which comes from the vocal principle

Heh, image of absolute life; but here it joins the expression or

organic character Gimel, of which it is a sort of reinforcement.

In Hebrew, it is the assimilative and concomitant article. Its

movement in nouns and actions is similitude and analogy. The

Hebraist grammarians, since they have neither included it among

the heemanthes nor among the paragogics, have committed the

grossest errors; they have merely regarded it as an inseparable

article or an affix, and often have confused it with the word that

it governs as article." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.368-369]

DIV dehyo. fluid darkness, ink. Darkness is an ancient symbol for

all things pertaining to subconscious forces and activities. The

secret of the 20th path (Yod) is connected with the operation of

the Mars force at subconscious levels. That is, the means whereby

ideas are recorded in writing, the art said to be the invention of

Hermes or Mercury, ruler of Virgo.

HIH hiyah, hayah. "It was." to cause to become; to be; produce,

make. The divine creativity of Yod is nothing new. 'of whatsoever

is, thou mayest say with truth, it was.'" [Book of Tokens, p.

102]

ChZH khawzaw. to have a vision of, to gaze at, to penetrate, pass

through, to see, behold mentally, to comprehend, to see

prophetically, to prophesy [Job 8:17]. All of these meanings

correspond to the symbols of Key 9. The active participle of the

verb is the noun Khokeh [ChZH], prophet, seer. Also contract,

covenant [2 ??? 24:11, 2 Chron. 19:29] Also to select, to

experience. The vision of the prophet is in truth a recollection

of that which seems to belong to the past. see 107, 346, 701. Also

Khawzeh [ChZH] chest, breast.

HH-HH Heh-heh. Letter name Heh (window) spelt in full. The

Constituting Intelligence, attributed to Aries. see 10

DVI deviy. sickness, illness; melancholy. Putridity,

loathsomeness, as 'putridity in my food', i.e. loathsome to me in

[Job 6:6] "Or can that which is unsavory [putrid] be eaten without

salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg." A direct

reference to the fact that the intestinal region correlated with

Yod (Virgo) is the great seat of infection and of the

intoxications which produce melancholy. [Gematria of the Letter

Names]

AHVB zahob. Golden. [Godwin]. This word is not found in scripture

or in the Hebrew Lexicon. Golden is the color of Tiphareth, sphere

of the Sun. see 14, 1081.

HThAH hattah. Sinful things, sin [Amos 9:8] "Surely the eyes of

the sovereign Lord are on the sinful Kingdom. I will destroy it

from the face of the Earth-yet I will not totally destroy the

House of Jacob." variant spelling, see 418.

IHH Yehah. 62 Name of Shem hamphorash, short from, associated with

the 2nd Quinance of Gemini. see 51, 1525.

AChIH akhavah. Brotherhood, fraternity; declaration, solution (of

riddles). [Zechariah 11:14]

Latin/Greek

H'gaza (Greek). The treasury. In Acts 8:20 (see 508): But Peter

said unto him (Simon), thy money perish with thee, because thou

hast thought that the Gift [i.e. Treasury] of God may be purchased

with Money." The reference is to the laying on of hands or

Baptism, a blessing so that the Holy Spirit may be received by the

faithful.

21 (3*7)

The diameter of the Formative World, Yetzirah.

Σ6 = 21

According to Pernety [Great Art, p. 183] 21 is a designation for

the white stage of the work, call also: white copper, lamb,

argent-vive, silver, white essence, Eve, white gum, foundation of

art, hoe, hyle, virgin's milk, preparatory mean, root of art,

unique root, rebis, Seth, companion, sister, sperm of the metals,

field in which the Gold must be sown, glass, Zibach, ziva, veil,

white veil, white rose, etc.

21 represents the combination of the Ego (1) with the non-ego (2),

but it is a reversal of the order expressed by 12. In 12 the Ego

is the vehicle and the non-ego the active principle; in 21 is the

manifestation of the I through the me, the expression of the

universal through the personal, the realization that the whole

manifestation is the act of the Universal Ego.

"Look at the Rota and see what Key 21 says. It is really a symbol

of union, and is therefore the extension numerically of Key 6.

Ask yourselves what has become of the man in Key 6, when that

Key's full expression is represented by Key 21, and you will

perhaps learn something to your advantage. Of course 21 is a

representation of Binah, and the very number shows this because it

reduces to Binah's number, 3; and in Key 21, if you look intently,

you may see delineated in plain sight representation of the idea

expressed in Hebrew as the word AIN, which is both BTN [belly,

womb, the inmost part] and AMK [thy mother]. No, we shall not

tell you, for you can find out for yourselves, and if you do, you

should go on from there to a great many practical applications."

[32nd Communication] see 61, 67, 400, 713.

"Trice the magical number 7 indicates three distinct climaxes or

periods, in the development of the stone, already shown as the

Black, red and white stages [it also suggest that 7, as the climax

of the first, 14 as the 2nd, and 21 as the third, are especially

important, and this same triple septenary is plainly shown in the

major trumps of the Tarot when laid out in the full tableau. And

each period has seven distinct sub-periods (so the total is

represented by 3*7*7 = 147, another 12. This is the total of the

four names: IHVH, ADNI, AHIH and AGLA; and its digits are the

first three aspects of unity, os that their extension is ?1-

10@28?, whose sum besides being another 12, is that of the

following: ABL, to abide, to dwell; TL, Dew; IHVH AChD,

Tetragrammaton is One] each consisting of a dissolution and a

congelation. Some of these in the earlier part of the work can

only be sensed metaphysically, apprehended by very subtle changes

in the matter. Later on they become actually visible as

solidifiations and liquidation of the substance." [D. D. Bryant,

The Art of Alchemy VI, 6. Notes by Paul Case]. see 147, 39.

IHV Yeho. A mystic name of 3 letters with which God sealed the six

directions of space, creating the cube of space [Book of

Formation, Sepher Yetzirah]. In the central point (Kether) are

condensed or concentrated the potencies of all 6 directions.

Connected also with the ancient Greek mystery name IAO (ee-ah-oh,

see 811) and with Horus and Dionysus. (When a pentegram is traced,

each line stands for Yeho or Eheieh. Forms the special name of

Chokmah, IH (Yah). Vav is a symbol for the 6th Sephirah,

Tiphareth. Thus the work of creation is the joint activity of the

two aspects of being called the Father (Chokmah) and the Son

(Tiphareth). When a pentagram is traced, each line stands for IHV

or AHIH. see 17, 343. Actually IHV is the name with which He

sealed the height, and turned toward above, and sealed it with

IHV. According to Gesenius, IHV is a Hebrew name of God, a shorter

form of IHVH. This name of three letters as a compound in many

Hebrew proper names. It may be considered, either as a short form

of IHVH, or as being IH, Yah, ["high, elevated, swelling high," in

S.Y. I 11]. Since Yod, is assgned to Chokmah, Father; Heh is

assigned to Binah, Mother, and vav is assgned to Tiphareth, BN,

Ben, the son, perhaps the name may represent the hoy family,

fater, mother and son, or Chokmah, Binah and Tiphareth [Gil

Johnston].

HGIH hawgeeg. deep meditation, musing [Psalms 5:1]. Also,

murmuring, whispering. Carries out the idea of contemplation from

the archetypal and creative worlds. All cosmic activities are

aspect of the musing or meditation of the cosmic self Yekhidah. (I

utter myself by seeing", Book of Tokens). The "substance" of light

vibration radiated from suns. see 65.

ZChV zachov. purity, referring to the unsullied state of the

pattern-forms which exist in the plans of formation. see 7, 21,

14, 44, 66, 28, 88.

ChZV khesev. vision, form, appearance. An Aramaic noun, used in

Daniel 4:17 and 7:7, and 7:20. In relation to Kether and Atziluth

it intimates that what appears, however illusory the appearance

may be and however men may misinterpret it, is actually a mani-

festation of the real presence of the Originating Principle seated

in Kether. As a conjunction, khesev means "if," suggesting

conditional existence. The Rabbinical writers employed ChZV to

convey the idea expressed by the English pronoun these, signifying

the multiplicity of objects presented to the mind whenever it

attends to the various phases of conditional existence.

Hawgeeg and khesev extend the meaning of the Logos doctrine by

their indication that the process is exactly what is meant by a

statement in THE OF BOOK OF TOKENS: "I utter myself by seeing."

AHIH Eheyeh. "I am", Existence, Being, the Divine Name attributed

to Kether which refers to the formative power of the Primal Will.

The Name of Names. In Exodus 3:14, this word is translated "I AM."

see 1032, 620, 37.

AK ak. a word having many meanings, but all representing some

degree of restriction, such as: only, this once, but, yet, indeed,

certainly. The restriction is affirmative. It is the restriction

of the specific, as opposed to the vague, of assurance as opposed

to doubt.

HVI hevai. Ah! Alas!

Latin/Greek

In (Latin). in. (movement) into; (presence) within. a preposition

signifying active movement toward a center within. This refers to

Kether as the initial concentration of Limitless Light into a

small point. It is a movement toward a center within the boundless

expanse of Pure Being. The whole field of cosmic manifestation is

held to be within that expanse. Consequently, any point in space

may be identified as that inner center. Hence the point within

one's life to which he refers when he says "I" must be identical

with the Central Reality of the universe, Yekhidah.

22 (2*11)

Circumference of a circle of the Archetypal World.

Numerical age of brother C.R. when he left the city Fez. 22

represent the circumference of a circle, and the completion of a

cycle of manifestation. The circle symbol is also connected with

the initials C.R.C., what is intimated is that the full power of

the God-Self are now ready to manifest through their regenerated

and perfected vehicle. The distinguishing mark of which are

tenderness and sympathy.

The 22 Hebrew letters and the 22 phases of consciousness and the

22 expressions of Mezela, the influence flowing down the paths of

the Tree of Life from Kether.

"This number [22] is appropriate,because in occult mathematic 22

represents the circumference of a circle, and the completion of a

cycle of manifestation. Furthermore, as we have seen that the

circle symbol is also connected with the initials C.R.C., what is

intimated here is that the full powers of the God self are now

readily to manifest through their regenerated and perfected

vehicle, the distinguishing mark of which is tenderness and

sympathy. Qabalists are familiar with the 22 Hebrew letters, the

22 phases of consciousness, and the 22 expression of Mezla, the

influence flowing down the paths of the Tree of Life from Kether,

the crown. The 22 connecting paths of the Tree are represented

also by the 22 Tarot Keys. As the magical age of 22, one have

become a master of the paths, and is, so to say, a living

embodiment of all that is represented by [this] diagram." [True

Aphruimis. April 14, June 25, September 5, November 16,

January 27. 8:20-8:40 A.M. [Psalm 119:145] "I have called with my

whole heart, answer me, O Lord (IHVH). "To win a lawsuit and

render the judges favorable. Protects all who seek truth; it leads

men to the contemplation of things divine. It rules politics,

diplomats, ambassadors, treats of peace and commerce, and all

conventions. Generally, it influences through couriers,

dispatches, agents and secret expeditions. see 965, 1525. Godwin

gives: Haayah; angel of the 2nd quinance (6-10

) of Sagittarius;

angel by night of the 8 of wands. This represents the subconscious

influence of the sphere of mercury, in Atziluth, the archetypal

23 (prime)

ChIH Chaiah. the Life-force, is that part of the constitution of

man specially attributed to Chokmah. In organic life, it is a

whirling force inherent in the order of the constellations. This

is a conscious, vital, life-giving potency. It is the masculine

dynamic energy and protective power that is the basis of physical

procreation. In Atziluth it is the Fire, the irresistible urge in

us of the Universal Will. All our drives to understand, all our

yearning to comprehend the underlying forces of existence, are

rooted in this drive to establish order out of chaos, rooted in

the Chokmah, or Wisdom. And this fire is broadcast from Chokmah

through Tiphareth, the Central Ego to every human being, incarnate

or discarnate, via the path of Heh, the 15th path. The first

letter of Chaiah, Cheth, means fence. The second and third letters

IH, spell the diving name of Chokmah, Yah. It relates to he

"protective" power of Chokmah and its being the primary filed of

the Life-power's self-limitation by means of which all subsequent

words of formation are made possible. He who knows the secret of

this connecting relationship knows how to attract all things,

whether spiritual or metaphysical. Magic is a mode of Life, a way

of living, in which the Magician is a medium for conscious

expression of the irresistible power of the heavenly order.

"...the wise know it also as the channel for the transmission of

Life, and Life is Chaiah, seated in Chokmah, to which Yod

specially pertaineth. For Chaiah is none other than AVR. Now

see, AVR is the number 207, and this is 9 times 23. Now 23 is the

number of ChIH, Chaiah, and 9 is the number of Yesod; furthermore

Chaiah is in Chokmah and is thus to be understood as the power of

AB the Father. Thus may you know that Life and Light are one;

that Light is always pure and always Holy, and that the extension

of Light is its multiplication through forms. ....You may have

wondered what this section of the Text has to do with the Astral

plane, the mystery of the 9th Sephira is a secret of Yod... Yod

is the letter of AB, and dilates upon Chaiah... the secret has to

do with the radiance of the stars, that is with Light, which is

one with Life." [27th Communication]. see 363, 11, 207, 430, 80,

AVVI avuiy. desire, hunger, appetite for. To bind is the

essential idea. Desire is the binding cord. Life, wrongly

interpreted, is the thing desired. When that false desires are

removed, Babylon falls. Then all evil conditions are changed and

the joy of the Lord is manifested. Briah is the world or plane

associated with the power of desire in creating mental images.

ChDVH khedvah. gladness, rejoicing, joy.

AGIDH agidah. The Zohar [II:234B, pp.347 -348] comments: "And I

shall tell you." The word "tell" Agidah (AGIDH), contains an

allusion to the esoteric wisdom. He sought to reveal to them their

final destiny. It may be asked, seeing that he did not reveal what

he sought to reveal, why are his words, which were afterwards

believed, recorded in the scripture? The truth is that all that

was needful to be revealed is completely stated and there is a

hidden meaning within, and so nothing in the scripture is

believed. In fact, everything is included in the scripture, and

there is no word or letter short in it. Jacob said all that was

needful for him to say, but not all openly, and not a letter was

short of what was required."

ChVTh khoot. to string together, to join. As a noun: thread, line,

a measuring tape. In Eastern Philosophy, sutratma, thread soul.

The line or ray of the Life-power's outflowing influence which

serves as a link of connection between successive lives of a

particular soul. The Briatic watery substance holds the patterns

which serve as a link throughout a whole series of incarnations

related to a specific ray or individuality of the Life-power's

self-expression.

IHGH yehagah. He meditates. The connecting thread (Khoot) is

mental in essence. God thinks the world into being, and the Life-

Force is the activity of his unbroken meditation throughout a

cosmic cycle.

ZChCh sakhakh. to be removed, be displaced, be agitated see 262.

24 (3*8)

The mystical number for alchemical salt. Especially related to

the Pythagorean triangle of Osiris-Isis-Horus, and to the 24

thrones of the elders in the Apocalypse, which refer to the

positive and negative manifestations of the powers symbolized by

the 12 signs, the 12 tribes, and the 12 apostles.

DK dak, dakay. oppressed, humbled, miserable, cursed, down

trodden. As a noun: pauper. Caused by ignorance and inertia-

overbalance of Salt. see 504. Fabre D'Olivet comments: "DK. The

sign of natural abundance contracted with the root AD, symbol of

concentric movement and of every restriction and exception,

composes a root infinitely expressive whose object is to depict

need, necessity, poverty and all ideas proceeding there from. The

arabic [word] constitutes an onomatopoeic and idiomatic root which

express the noise made in striking, beating, knocking; which

consequently, develops all ideas which are attached to the action

of striking, as those of killing, breaking, splitting, etc.... DK.

that which is needy, contrite, sad, poor, injurious, calamitous,

vexation, etc." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 322].

DVID David. David, "beloved," the Biblical hero and King of

Israel. (variant spelling, see 14). D.D. Bryant says: "He, David,

is the sulfur, or active principle of the Great Work, while

Jonathan, the King's son, stands for Mercury. David's first feat

was the slaying of a Lion and a bear. These are 2 animals which

typify a certain element in the philosopher's confection. David

next slayed the giant Goliath (443), brings David into prominence

and attracts the notice of the King. The "giant" is the imagined

evil principle, precisely like the dragon or the beast. David is

described as a youth and "ruddy" (red) which make him correspond

to our red water, the thing, in fact which does actually kill the

'giant' with 'a smooth stone.'"

Paul Case comments: "The red water is blood, whose chemical

condition, modified by intelligent control of diet, and by the

response of the ductless glands to suggestions, it the agent

whereby those changes in cell-structure are brought about as a

result of which the adept unfolds his consciousness so as to

percepitate the Stone. The law seems to be "no thought without

corresponding cell-activity." To think any particular thought it

is necessary that there be cells so constituted that they can

transmute the vital principle into specific forms of ideation.

Thus the whole problem resolves itself into a control of the cell

forming functions of the body, to the end that cells may be

developed capable of responding to the vibrations of thought and

perception beyond the ranges of ordinary human consciousness. In

short, the problem is to learn how to modify the blood so that it

will build the sort of cells we need for our interior development.

D.D. Bryant continues: "Strange as it may seem, these '5 stones'

are expression of the same idea as the '5 wise virgins' of the

Christ parable, the same also as the 5 loaves and 2 fishes that

feed the multitudes. It is what the philosophers call the

Quintessence or reduction of the 4 principles into the fifth,

which represents the sum of all perfection. You may think of this

as the 5 interior senses all uniting to form one perception."

[Paul Case on D.D. Bryant's Philosopher's Stone IX] See 581, 700,

443, 14). "Love... is the substance of manifestation... it is

abundance itself." [Case: The Flaming Cube]. In Thomas Troward's

Bible Mystery and Bible Meaning (p. 171) He writes: "'David' means

'the beloved' or the man who realizes his true relation to the

infinite spirit; and the description of Daniel as a man, greatly

beloved and who realizes his true relation to the infinite spirit;

and who had set his heart to understand [Daniel 10:11], shows us

that it is this set purpose of seeking to understand the nature of

the universal spirit and the mode of our own relation to it, that

raises the individual to the position of David or 'the Beloved.'

Paul Case comments: "Note that DVD = ZHB, the alchemical Gold. The

variant spelling, DVID = 24 = AHVBI, 'He whom I love' = AVHBI, 'He

who love me' = BThChH 'confidencee' [Isaiah 30:15] 'In quietness

and in confidence shall be your strength.'" see 320 (IShI).

IChV Yecho. 33rd name of Shemhamphorash, short form, associated

with the 3rd quinance (11-15

) of Capricorn. see 36, 39, 1525.

KD kad. a water pot, a large earthenware vessel, pitcher. It

comprises the enclosure of all bodies and is the "earth vessel" of

the alchemist. see 29.

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "KD. That which partakes of relative

unity, isolation, division. In a restricted sense a spark, a

fragment. The chaldaic KD is represented in a restricted sense, by

the adverbial relation when. The arabic [word] signifies in

general, to act in one's own interest, to work for self; in

particular, to be industrious, to intrigue, to be fatigued,

tormented." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 370]

GVIH gevyah. a body or substance. Alchemical salt is the

substance of all bodies.

ZIZ zeez. abundance, plenty, superfluity.

All 3 of these words [kad, zeez, gevyah] are related to the

meaning of alchemical Salt.

AZBVGH Asbogah. "The shining one." Name of a planetary force.

Fire is the extended manifestation of the underlying reality which

gives body to all things. From a root [GVH] see 14.

25 (5*5)

The 25th Path is Samekh, between Tiphareth and Yesod.

KH koah, koh. thus, so; here. The brotherhood of light is

destroyed here, on the physical plane by ignorance of the truth of

unity (This is a powerful sigil to use with IHI).

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "KH. Che. Root analogous to the root KA,

but whose expression is spiritualize and reinforced by the

presence of the sign Heh. KH. That which is conformable to a

given model; that which coincides with a point of space or time,

which can be conceived in an abstract sense, by the adverbial

relations yes, thus, like this; that; in that very place; at that

very time; etc." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 370]

archangels of the world of Briah, corresponding to the Sephirah

Geburah. see 864, 1424.

HII Hayeya. 71st name of Shemhamphorash, short form, associated

with the 5th Quinance (21-25

) of Cancer. see 56, 1525.

AKD. A city and dynasty of ancient Babylonia. [Genesis 10:10] "The

first centers of his [Nimrod's] kingdom were Babylon, Erech, Ankad

and Calneh, in Shinar." Fabre D'Olivet comments: "VAKD and

Achad... Two contracted roots compose this word: AD-KD. They

depict energetically that sort of sentiment the result of which

is, that each is excepted from the general law, flees from it,

acts for his own part. The work ?ABD? signifies properly, a

particle, a spark." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. unknown].

DKA dekah. destruction, collapse. Psalm 90:3: "Then turnest man

to destruction, and sayest return ye sons of Adam." The

consequence of the apparent outgoing of personality into the field

of conscious expression which involves the semblance of

separateness (see 155, 124, 85). Acceptance of the illusion for

reality leads to collapse (Key 16). Note that the number DKA, 25

is the square 5, the number of Mars. See commentary 31st

Communication (see 1200, 1309).

on the Tree is the practical mystery, not only concerned with the

direction of the serpent fire, but also related to the

utilization of the unknown omnipresent power which makes

particles of matter tend toward one another, the force which

makes bodies fall to earth, and holds planets in their orbits

around the sun"]

KVD kavad. to be heavy, to be burdensome; grievous; difficult;

abundant, numerous.

KBD kibad. to make heavy, harden; to honor, glorify; to sweep

up, tidy (a room).

KBD kabad. to be honored.

KDB. to lie, to tell falsehoods.

IHVH Jehovah. the Unutterable Name. The Divine Name in Chokmah.

Yah [IH] is the shorter form of IHVH. The divine creative name

fundamental to the construction of the Tree of Life in the 4

worlds. It is probable that the gentiles apprehended certain

things, as one might say, concerning this name, and that from so

doing they named their God Jupiter; thus the Latins were

accustomed to use as their common and ordinary terms (for God)

Jupiter or Jovis. For after all what difference is there between

the Jovis of the Latins and the Jehovah of the Hebrews, as even

more Jehovih, as it is written in certain versions of the Bible."

[quoted by Letain in La Science Cablistique, Chapter 10, from an

unnamed "distinguished servant"] "This great mysterious name is

the word of mystery, which has never been lost. This word is

universal, and it produces all things, is short it is the word,

by which God created the heavens, the earth, and al which is

contained in space of his infinite circle." [IBID p. 151]

HGChI yehagah. He meditates. God thinks the world into being and

the Life-force of Chokmah in Briah is the activity of His

unbroken meditation, which continues throughout the duration of a

cosmic cycle.

ChVZH Chozah. seeing, looking at,

Chozoh. sight, vision. "I utter myself by seeing [Book of

Tokens].

27 (3*3*3)

Age of Brother C.R. after spending 5 years in his habitation,

where he "ruminated his voyage and philosophy and reduced them

together in a true memorial."

27 is the 3rd cube (1 the 1st and 8 the 2nd) and suggest the

symbolism of a geometric cube. The cube is a symbolism of the

Holy of Holies and the Heavenly City mentioned in the 21st

chapter of Revelations. [True and Invisible by PFC, p???]

142857/13 = 10,989 1+0+9+8+9 = 27 = 9

142857/11 = 12,987 1+2+9+8+7 = 27 = 9

142857/37 = 3,861 3+8+6+1 = 18 = 9

142857/27 = 5,291 5+2+9+1 = 17 = 8

142857/407 = 351 3+5+1 = 9

ZK zak. clean. pure. Though it is designated by another

adjective, the idea of purity is associated with Yesod, meaning

Basis or Foundation. 27 is appropriate to designate the magical

age at which brother CR becomes a Founder of the Fraternity. The

Rosicrucian grade corresponding to Yesod is Theoricus, and in

this grade the fundamental theory of the Great Work is explained.

(see 9, 80, 220, 570, 18, 36, 445, 63, 72, 81, 90).

ChIDH kheedaw. Intricate speech, a riddle, an enigma; oracle,

puzzle; a parable. "This is the best possible description of

magical language and writing with which the brehren began at once

to busy themselves." [True and Invisible *find page number*]

BKH bawkah. to drop, distill, to flow down in drops; to cry,

wail. "This describes the Hermetic work, and suggest also the

measured outpouring of energy involved in such an undertaking."

BHK also means: to weep, to cry; to wail. The Masters are moved

by compassion for the errors of the unenlightened, by sympathy

for suffers from the consequence of these errors of the

unenlightened. They work without ceasing for the purification and

regeneration of the Human race. see 132, Chasidim. "Here is a

strong intimation that the cube of 3 units represent that which

to the average man is a riddle indeed, and a cause for mourning;

but also that which to the wise is a means for the establishment

of purity, clarity and cleanlyness of mind and body." [Paul Case:

The Flaming Cube - Light of the Chaldees, p???]

28 (4*7)

The 2nd perfect number (32 Paths L6, page 6)

Σ7 = 28. The mystical number of Netzach.

The diameter of Assiah in the material world. The boundary of the

ground plan for the vault of brother CR.

The number of days in a lunar month. By some accounts, the

number of pieces the body of Osiris was divided.

IChVD yechud. union or unity, indicates the fact that the

material world, which we misinterpret as the sphere of manyness

or multiplicity, is fundamentally the ONE expression of ONE

reality, in which there is no separation whatever, each of the

seemingly separate parts being combined with all the others.

This is a conception made understandable by modern rediscoveries

concerning the electrical constitution of matter. see 88, 7, 22,

14, 44, 21, 66. Also privacy, private meeting; profession of

unity of God (also separation) see 440.

IChDV yacheddaw, yechadu. together, all together; alike.

Mathers: Union, unity.

ABIHVD aebayhud. Father or possessor of renown. One who has

"strength."

HChIH ha-chaiah. Translated "creature" in Genesis 1:21. "And God

created great whales, and every living creature that moveth,

which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind..."

From ChIH Chaiah, living thing, animal; life; appetite; revival,

renewal... Thus "the creatures."

ChK chek. to taste; to pass something through the plate; the

throat; palate; mouth as organ of speech. The throat is connected

with Venus and with desire. see 508.

KCh kach. power, strength, might. Refers to the magic square of

Venus. It represents by its total summation (2800 or 28*100) the

formative power of desire. This work locates for us the place

were we shall draw the power used in magic and other forms of

practical occultism. The power we are to use is a physical

power. The power is in plain sight. The alchemists tell us again

and again when they intimate that the First Matter of the art is

procurable everywhere, and without expense. "The reversal of the

letter [KCh] forms the word ChK, Khake, signifying the mouth as

the former of words, or the power of verbal utterance. This power

of verbal utterance is held in occult philosophy to be basic in

the creation and formation of the universe. It is, indeed, the

power which supports all creation, and thus it is appropriate

that ?[of]? an area of a great lozenge [formed in the geometrical

construction of the Tree of Life] corresponding to ChK, Khake, by

number should be shown as being what is outside and below the

Tree of Life as its support [the number 28]" [Paul Case: Letter

to J.W. Hamilton-Jones March 10, 1952 page 4].

Caeli (Latin?) of heaven, or heavenly. Part of a phrase. see 75.

IGIH yaggayah. "wilt lighten" [Psalm 18:28]. "For thou wilt

light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness."

[King James]. "You, O Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my

darkness into light." [New International]

ThITh tiyt. clay. A plastic medium easily impressed with the

image of the artist. The substance out of which God formed Adam.

Although different words for "clay" are used, the following

quotes convey the thought: [Job 10:9] "Remember that you molded

me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again?" [Job 33:6] "I

am just like you before God; I too have been taken from clay."

Clay also refers to imperfect human beings, mired in the depths

of materialism, and analogous to the "base metals" of the

alchemist. They are transformed into the reality of "living

stones" or "Gold". (Study this word letter by letter, and with

the help of the corresponding Tarot keys, paths, etc.).

IDID yawidyd. Beloved, lovely, pleasant. [Deuteronomy 33:12].

About Benjamin he said: let the beloved of the Lord rest secure

in him, for he shields him all day long."

sal (Latin). salt. Corresponding to the 3rd alchemical

principal, or Binah. The understanding of the Divine Mother is

the bread which nourishes her creations on the physical or

material plane. Salt crystallizes into cubes, relating to Saturn

and Lead, as well as the cubic stone and cube of space (See 67,

78, 193).

29 (prime)

When 7 = diameter of a circle and the circumference = 22 then 29

is a numerical representation of the symbol for alchemical salt.

HDK hadak. to break down, to overturn, cast down [Job 40:12].

The alchemical salt is the finitizing principle which breaks down

the homogeneity of the infinite.

KZB kazab. to fabricate, to spin, to bind together, to deceive.

A complex illusion which deceives the ignorant (see 22, 67).

Kawzab as a verb means: to fabricate, to lie, to speak falsehood,

to combine or devise, to bind together, to fail, to dry up (as a

brook). As a noun: a lie, falsehood; deceit.

DKH dawkawh. to be broken, be depressed. Also: bruising,

crushing (particularly of the testicles). Deuteronomy 23:1 "He

that is wounded in the stones, or hath his primary member cut

off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord."

magia (Latin). magic. The "web of illusion" (alchemical salt) is

the true magic. Closely related to the sanskrit maya, associated

with Binah.

amen (Latin). amen. "so be it." A title of Kether.

Via (Latin). Way; method or manner (of doing something.)

These words are related to the operation of alchemical Salt.

D.O.M.A. Initials for Deus Omnipotens Magister Artis. "God

Almighty Master of the Art."

L Lamed. "ox-goad." An ox-goad is used to guide oxen and to

keep them on the road by the driver. Hence the idea of control,

direction and incitement. The shape of the letter Lamed is that

of a serpent. It represents the same force we discussed in Teth

and Key 8. Teth is the coiled serpent, Lamed, is the same snake

uncoiled and active. Thus the BOOK of FORMATION assigns action or

work to Lamed. With slight change in pronunciation the letter is

a verb, meaning, "to teach". Thus the ideas represented by our

noun education. The character for Lamed is usually explained as

being a conventionalized picture of a goad, or whip. But some

authorities hold that it really represents an erect serpent.

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "This character as consonant, belongs to

the lingual sound. As symbolic image it represents the arm of a

man, the wing of a bird, that which extends, raises and unfolds

itself. As grammatical sign, it is expansive movement and is

applied to all ideas of extension, elevation, occupation,

possession. It is, in Hebrew the directive article...expressing

in nouns or actions, a movement of union, dependence, possession

or coincidence." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 377].

"DIRECTIVE ARTICLE-It expresses, with nouns or actions whose

movement it modifies, a direct relation of union, of possession,

or of coincidence. I translate it by to, at, for, according to,

toward, etc." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.112]

Rabbi Yose liken the Lamed to a town watchman who stands on a

high lookout and calls out his warning...Lamed. On so beautiful

Lamed. Tall elegant like a palm branch (LVLB) waved high...the

Lamed is actually composed of two separate letters...it is the

Vav (nail) perched on the roof of the Beth (house). [the Book of

Letters, Rabbi Kushner] "A tower soaring in the air." [the Alef-

Beit, Rabbi Ginsburgh]

IHVDV Jehudah, Judah. praised, celebrated; the tribe of Israel

assigned to Leo and the letter Teth. When masculine: Judah.

Feminine: Judea. Related to alchemical digestion, the sense of

taste and to the Intelligence of the Secret of all Spiritual

Activities. The blessing of Jacob [Genesis 49:9] says: "A Lion's

whelp is Judah; on prey you have grown up, my son. He crouches,

he couches like a lion, like an old Lion; who dare disturb him?"

see 419, 661, 216, 570 (Gr.)

According to D.D. Bryant, the immortal spring of Judea is

connected with Yesod. Case: The source of the "Land," region or

sphere of manifestation of IHVDH "the Praised One." (30),

suggesting a triple manifestation of the 10 Sephiroth. Lamed

equals 30 as is assigned to work, Libra and the Path of the

Faithful Intelligence, joining Geburah to Tiphareth. In Libra, a

cardinal air sign, the planets Saturn and Mercury [Venus?] rule.

The number 30 also represents the word IHIH, "it will be."

Furthermore, IHVDH is Tetragrammaton, IHVH with Daleth, the

letter of Venus =Copper=brass the metal of Nachash [358]

interposed between Vav and the final Heh. Vau is Taurus, ruling

the throat. Heh is Aries, ruling the head and brain. Here we see

Venus interposed between the throat and brain, between the place

where speech is formulated and the place where ideas are

generated. The implication will be clear enough to students of

higher thought or of magic. The power of the spoken word,

modified by Venus, has the result of effecting a change in the

instrument of thought. In other words, when Venus modifies our

speech, our thoughts are transformed. This is the principle of

all practices, involving the use of the 'spoken word' whether in

christian science, new thought, or in the older forms of magical

practice. It is the principle of suggestion or speech modified by

Venus = desire or imagination." [Paul Case on D.D. Bryant's The

Philosophers Stone, VIII, p.7]

ABIThVB Abitub. "Father of Goodness." Judah, as Leo is connected

with the heart center and thus is Father of all that is good,

i.e. love. (see 17)

KI kwi. that; when, while, as, for, because; but, only, indeed;

in fact; lest; even if; although, though. see 47 [KI ThVB]. Fabre

D'Olivet comments: "KI, Chi. Manifestation of any assimilating,

compressing force. The arabic [word] signifies in a restricted

sense, a burn. KI The force expressed by the root is represented

in an abstract sense, by relations that, because, for then, when,

etc." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 372]. Godwin gives, brand,

mark burnt in, burning, burn. [Isaiah 3:24] "Instead of

fragrance, there will be a stench; instead of beauty, branding."

III yeyeye. 22nd name of Shemhamphorash , short form,

associated with the 4th quinance (16-20

) of Scorpio. see 61,

1525.

IHIH yiheyeh, eyehayay. future tense of the verb "to be".

ChIIB hiib. A party to an action at law; defendant, plaintiff.

Note Lamed L=30=Justice.

Deka (Gr). Ten.

Arabia (Lt). "Sterility." The place in the Fama where brother CRC

became aquanited with the wise men of the temple in Damcar, and

where he struck a bargain with the arabians for a certain sum of

money. This involves further experimental work, which was begun

at Damascus.

The vow of chastity implies by the place name Arabia. It refers

to more than physical countenance, to more than merely refraining

from the exercise of the sex-function. To receive initiation

demands utter receptivity and that receptivity cannot be

established or maintained unless, for this period there is

abstinence from any kind of creative activity, mental or

physical. The temple of initiation is also of Arabia, and it is

there brother CRC meets the wise men. Yet the bargain with the

arabians is for a 'certain sum of money'. Furthermore, Brother

CRC sojourn at the temple is for a definitely limited time. The

utter sterility which is necessary in order that one may pass

safely through the trials of initiation is by no means imposed

for life. It is an indispensable preliminary training in self-

control, and this training is what Jesus meant by his cryptic

statement that some persons make themselves Eunuchs "for the

Kingdom of Heaven's sake..." This temporary sterility establishes

within the body a tremendous physical reserve of Life-force, and

in the mind a like reserve of the subtler manifestation of the

same force. After initiation, one heaves Arabia, that is to say,

one returns to a more normal course of life." [PFC True and

Invisible].

31 (prime)

AL Al or El. strength, power, might, God the Mighty One. Divine

Name corresponding to Chesed (4 of Wands). By its letters it is

connected with the element of air and the Suit of Swords. Aleph:

super-consciousness aspect of the airy power. Lamed: the ox-goad,

denotes direction and purpose. Perfectly free in Itself, the

Life-power nevertheless guides Itself, during a cycle of

manifestation, through self-appointed ways or channels of

activity, corresponding to the formative power of Yetzirah.

[Kether of Briah].

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "Al. This root springs from the united

signs of power and extensive movement. The ideas which it

develops are those of elevation, force, power, extent. The

Hebrews and arabs have drawn from it the name of God. AL

hieroglyphically, this is the symbol of nature or adverb

relations to, toward, for, by, against, upon, beneath, etc. The

arabic [word] is employed as the universal designative relation,

the, of the, to the, etc. As verb it expresses in the modern

idiom it signifies literally, to be wearied by too much movement.

Al and ALL (intens.) In this excess of extension, it is that

which passes away, which is empty, vain; expressed by the

adverbial relation no, not, not so, nought, nothing; etc." [The

Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 294]

LA lo. "not", or "No-Thing". "Thus the same letters A and L

reversed are the usual sign for nothing and for not. This

nothing is all. It is the darkness of AIN, but see this: AIN is

61, or AL increased by 30, and the time shall come when human

speech shall show this forth.... that strange last comment on AIN

and its numeral value says in so many words that, in what was

time to come for the writer, men would express the idea which in

Hebrew is written KL, by adding another L to the Holy name Alm,

so that a-l-l, your English word, does exactly fulfill this. ALL

in English stands exactly for what Qabalists mean by AIN, and if

the Hebrew values of the English letters be used here, it

produces 61. [29th Communication 1/26/48] see 713, 50, 106. With

other vowel-points, it, is a preposition meaning "to, toward,

into, or against." Thus El

, "God," is shown to be NO THING, yet

at the same time a strong power, which is the cause of motion

toward, into, or even against see 61, 48, 560, 538.

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "LA. this root is symbol of the line

prolonged to infinity, of movement without term; of action whose

duration is limitless: Thence the opposed idea; of being and

nothingness, which it uses in developing the greater part of its

compounds. The arabic [word] develops the ideas of the Hebraic

root. In a restricted sense *** signifies literally to shine,

sparkle, glutton, LA or LVA it is in general, an indefinite

expansion, an absence without term expressed in an abstract sense

by the relations, no, not, not at all. Definite direction, that

is to say, that which is restrained by means of the assimilative

sign Kaph, is opposed to it." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.

377]

With other vowel-points, it, is a preposition meaning "to,

toward, into, or against." Thus El, "God," is shown to be NO

THING, yet at the same time a strong power, which is the cause of

motion toward, into, or even against (see 61, 48, 560, 538).

ChBVIH Chabuyah. 68th Shin; angle of 2 of Cups. Godwin gives:

Angel of 2nd quinance (6-10

) of Cancer; angel by night of the of

2 of Cups. This represents the subconscious influence of Chokmah,

sphere of the zodiac, in Briah, the world of Creation.

HKAH hakkaah. A beating, striking, collision.

IIAI. King of Swords. see Key of Solomon, figure 31.

HVK huwk. A Chaldee verb meaning: "to go; to bring". The No-

thing is the power which goes forth into every form of

manifestation and brings about every phenomenon. see 511.

VIHI va-yehi. "And there was...." It is the manifestating force

which came into operation when in response to the creative "let

there be"... "And there was." [Genesis 1:3] This expression of

for the compound word: VIHI-AVR, "and there was light". Fabre

D'Olivet comments: "VIHI. And there (shall be) became... I must

not neglect to say, that Moses, profiting by the hieroglyphic

Genius of the Egyptian tongue, changing at will the future tense

into past tense, depicts, on this occasion, the birth of light,

symbol of intelligible corporeality, with an animation that no

modern tongue can render except the chinese. He writes first IHI-

AVR There shall be light; then repeating the same words with the

single addition of the convertible sign vav, he turns suddenly,

the future into the past, as if the effect had sustained before

hand the outburst of the through VIHI-AVR and there (shall be)

light. This manner of speaking figuratively and hieroglyphically,

always comes from the primitive meaning given to the BRAShITh [in

the beginning, 913]: for the heavens and the Earth created in

principle, and raising from power, into action, could unfold

successive their virtual forms only as **tar as the Divine will

announced in the future, is manifest in the past. The being of

beings knows no time. The Egyptian tongue is the only one in

which this wonderful trope can take place even in the spoken

tongue. It was a spoken effect which, form the hieroglyphic style

passed into the figurative, and from the figurative into the

literal." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. unknown]

Mezareph [II:9] says: "Zahav tob is referred to Yesod, that is

good gold [Genesis 2:12] ("and the gold of that land is good:

aromatic resin and onyx are also there.") for this kind is called

32 2

(2*2*2*2*2)

KBVD Kabode. weight, mass; Glory, brilliance. The symbol of the

eternal presence of the divine glory, revealed by the inner

voice. Refers to cosmic radiation materialized into electro-

magnetism and gravity. The substance of all that is. see 26

(Kabad), 508, 112.

"They are the Holy Living Creatures seen by the prophet Ezekiel,

and that which cometh into form by their appearance is the Glory

of God which is the true substance of all things and also the

Holy Influence which descendeth through the paths of the Tree,

and ascendeth again to be swallowed up in the abyss of radiant

darkness for which AIN is the first veil... Thirty-two are the

paths and 32 is the number of KBVD, the Glory... Thus the paths

and the Glory are in truth one. Paths of Chokmah are they

called, and from this you may know them to be paths of life, for

verily, Chokmah is none other than Kachmah, and Kachmah is the

one and only power of life.

Now the stars are physical condensations of the Glory of God, or

the radiance known to us as electricity, magnetism and

gravitation. These three are names for one power, and the words

Kachmah and Mezla are other names for the same power. Man's body

is as truly a condensation on the physical plane of this power as

in the physical body of a sun. Indeed, even the chemical

elements in man's body, where they take on form as bones and the

blood and tissues, are the very same elements that take form as

flaming gases in the body of the sun. This is not philosophy,

but science. Whether as a human body, or as a solar form,

however, the physical substance is only the outer vesture of the

Divine Glory, which runs forth from AIN and flows back to AIN,

and through AIN, into the unfathomable abyss of the radiant

darkness. The real purport of the teaching is that even man's

physical body is of one substance with the Divine Glory, not

separate or separable from that Glory." [23rd Communication

12/29/43]. see 63, 73, 61, 78, 1081 (Greek), 832.

LB liab. center, midst; heart (as the seat of knowledge,

understanding and thinking). Note that LB is Libra and Mercury,

the equilibration of action. see 12, 406, 87. "... the number 32

represents something familiar to occultist of may schools. To

Free Masons, whose ritual preserve many vestiges of the Qabalah,

the heart is the point of initial preparation for admission to

the fraternity. That modern masonry has well-nigh forgotten the

deeper significance of this point must be admitted, but the truth

remains that in the heart every man is first prepared to become a

true builder. And the essence of that preparation is inner

harmony with what the Qabalist represent by the 32 paths. Or it

might be even more accurate to say that not until the heavenly

wisdom begins to stir in a man's heart that man ready to seek

initiation." [Paul Case: True and Invisible, p. find page

]

ZIVVG zivog. copula maritalis, sexual union, marriage coupling.

Implies that divine union is likened to purified marital union.

ChZIZ chaziz. zig-zag, forked lightning. The "lighting flash" of

the Tree of Life proceeds from Kether to Malkuth. The kundalini

flash proceeds from Malkuth (Saturn) to Kether (Mercury) in

stirring the inner planetary centers. Lighting suggest

illumination, however brief.

IChID yawchid. Paul Case: unity [K.D.L.C.K. p. 432]. "an only

Gimel/Lamed, Moon in Libra.

GL gal. ruin, a heap of stones; a spring, a fountain (because the

water rolls out). [Song of Solomon 4:12]. Written GLL in Job

20:7 concerning the pride of the Godless man: "He will perish

forever, like his own dung; those who have seen him will say,

'where is he.'" and GL [gol] round vessel for oil [Zechariah 4:2]

"He asked me, 'what do you see?' I answered, 'I see a solid gold

lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lights on it, with

olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl [GL] and the

other on the left.'" Fabre D'Olivet comments: "GL. This root can

be conceived according to its two ways of composition: by the

first, it is the root GV, symbol of all organic extension, united

to the sign of directive movement Lamed; by the second, it is the

organic sign Gimel, which is contracted with the root AL, symbol

of elevation and expansive force. In the first case it is a thing

which is displayed in space by unfolding itself; which is

developed, produced, according to its nature, unveiled; in the

second, it is a thing, on the contrary, which coils, rolls,

complicates, accumulates, heaps up, envelops. Here, one can

recognize the double meaning which is always attached to the sign

Gimel under the double relation of organic development and

envelopment.

GL. That which moves with a light and undulating movement; which

manifest joy, grace, and ease in its movements. The revolution of

celestial spheres. The orbit of the planets. A wheel; a

circumstance, an occasion. That which is revealed, that which

appears, is uncovered. That which piles up by rolling: the

movement of the waves, the swell; the volume of anything

whatsoever, a heap, a pile; the circuit or contour of an object

or a place: it confines.

The Arabic [word] presents the same ideas of unfoldment and

aggrandizement, as much in the physical as in the moral: it is

also the unfolding of the sail of a ship, as well as that of a

faculty of the soul. *** expresses at the same time the majesty

of a king, the eminence of a virtue, the extent of anything

whatsoever." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 314]

LG log. basin; a measure for liquids. [Leviticus 14:10] "On the

8th day he must bring two male lambs and one ewe lamb a year old,

each without defect, along with three-tenths of an ephah of fine

flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, and one log of oil.

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "Every idea of liaison, if intimate,

complicated thing; of litigation. The meaning of the Arabic

[word] is similar and signifies literally to insist, to contest.

The Hebrew LG presents in the figurative, symbolic type, the

measure of extent, space." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 378]

BAL Bael. Gothic demon by day of the 1st decanate of Aries.

BAL Bel. In god.

BLA Belah. to destroy, to decay. Bela, a King of Edom.

DL dal, dial. to move to and fro, to totter from weakness; weak,

poor; a pauper, poor man; humble, lean, low; door, valve. [Psalm

141:3] "Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the

door (valve) of my lips." Recall the Qabalistic teaching of the

occult correspondence between Jupiter and the Moon; these

negative effect are produced by psychism. Thomas Torward says:

"The key note of this Psalm is personal confidence in God as the

reciprocating personality." PFC comments: "What establishes this

reciprocity is show in the phrase ALID IHVH ADNI OINI 'Mine eyes

are unto thee, O God the Lord' = 292 = KCh-AMR IHVH, 'Thus sayth

Tetragrammation,' for when our mental gaze is fixed on

Tetragrammaton Adonai, He sets a watch on out lips, and prevents

the inclination of our hearts to evil. The wicked fall into their

own nets. They are not punished by God, but thet themselves set

up the negative conditions which overwhelm them. He who knows

therefore calmly leaves them to their own devices and seeks only

to be preserved from falling into their errors." [Troward on

Psalms, pp. 192-93] see 924. Fabre D'Olivet comments: "This root,

conceived as the union of the sign of natural abundance or of

divisibility, with the root AL symbol of elevation, produces the

idea of every extraction, every removal, as for example, when one

draws water from a well, when one takes away the life of a plant;

from this idea, proceeds necessarily the accessory ideas of

exhaustion and weakness. The arabic [word] contains the same

sense in general; but in particular, this root is attached more

exclusively to the idea of distinguishing, designating conducting

some one toward a distinct object. When it is weakened in ***; it

expresses no more than a distinction of scorn; disdain,

degradation. DL. That which extracts; to draw or to attract

above; that which takes away, drains; that which attenuates,

consumes, enfeebles: every kind of division, distinction;

emptiness effected by extraction; any kind of removal. In a very

restricted sense, a seal; a vessel for drawing water." [The

Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 323]

LD. Fabre D'Olivet comments: "The expansive sign, joined to that

of abundance born of division, or by contraction with the root

AD, image of every emanation, composes a root whose purpose is to

express every idea of propagation, of generation, of any

extension whatsoever given to being. The Arabic [word] expresses

in general the same ideas as the Hebraic root. In a restricted

sense it is, to make manifest, to put forward, to discuss. The

verb **** characterizes the state of that which is realized, put

at ease; to enjoy one's self, to delight in, etc. LD. That which

is born, generated, propagated, bred, progenity, increase of

family, race, linage: confinement, childbirth, etc." [The Hebrew

Tongue Restored, p. 378-379]

IDK yawdekah. "your hand' [Psalm 138:7]. "Though I walk in the

midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand

against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me."

Thomas Troward: "God recognized as universal is the saving

principle. God's right hand is the working of the principle,

whether in us, through us, or around us. God is 'savior of all

them that put their trust in him.'" Paul Case comments: "The holy

temple in the midst is the central point in our consciousness,

where the throne is place, and this is the throne of the father,

with the son at the right hand of the father. 'Thy right hand' is

MINI = 130 OIN, the eye = MLAK HGAL, the angel of redemption."

[Troward on Psalm, pp 184 - 185]. see 130, 10, 20.

AL AB. God the Father.

BLB ve-laib. the heart.

ChHVIH Chahaviah. Angel of 6th quinance of Scorpio.

35 (7*5)

Summation of every line of a magic square of Jupiter.

Sum of the 2nd (8) and 3rd (27) cubic numbers.

The measure of the perimeters of the heptagon forming the top and

bottom of the vault of brother CR.

There is a tradition that the Pythagoreans called 35 "harmony".

This implies the perfect equilibrium of coordinated forces and

agrees with other meaning of 7. 35 is the sum of 8 and 27, the

cubes of 2 and 9. Thus it represents the perfected expression of

wisdom (2), combined with the fully manifested expression of

understanding (3), because the cube, or threefold multiplication,

of a number symbolizes the complete manifestation of the power of

that number. 35 is also the perimeter of the ceiling and floor of

the vault (7 sides times 5).

Philo: 35 comes from the double diagram of arithmetic, geometry

and harmony; but 16+18+19+21 the combination of which numbers

amount to 74 is that according to which seven-month's children

are born. 35 is the 4th pentagonal or quinquangular number [Paul

Case: notes on numbers]

AL AB Elab. God the Father. A divine name associated with

Jupiter and Chesed (see 31).

GAL gal. to ransom; to redeem, save, liberate, deliver.

gawahl. to profane, to pollute, contaminate, defile, desecrate

(40).

GLA galah. to reveal, to uncover, the Father cannot be seen face

to face but is revealed in all his works (see 4, 16, 64, 136).

BBL gabel. confusion (cf. Tower of Babel, with its confusion of

tongues).

DL dal. to move to and fro, to totter from weakness; weak, poor,

a pauper, humble. Also door, valve [Psalm 141:3]. "at the door

(valve) of my life." see 924.

IDD yawdekah. "Thy hand." [Psalm 138:7]: "Though I walk in the

midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: Thou shalt stretch forth

thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand

shall save me."

GBL gahbal, gobel.. to draw a boundary, to set bounds, to border

upon, adjoin. as a noun, edge, boundary, landmark (see 91, 231).

AGLA [AGLA]. Notariqon for Ateh Gebur Le-Olahm Adonai. "Thine is

the power through the endless ages, O Lord." (see 858)

IHK yehak. he will go.

Latin/Greek

Gaza. royal treasure, riches, wealth. The royal treasure is the

indwelling presence of the One Power which is truly magical,

because it is the power which sets the boundaries or defining

limits of all forms. Through man it creates mental, emotional and

physical riches which give dominion over the world of Assiah. To

use our powers of desire correctly they must be set within exact

bounds. Desire out of control is the cause of most of the sorrows

and deprivations we experience in our incarnate existence (see 12

in Greek).

pax. peace. From a root akin to a sanskrit word meaning "to

bind." Literally, Pax is the "binding or fastening thing." It

signifies dominion and empire. It implies silence as when we say

"he held his peace." Note that this last meaning connects with

those of Key 7 as representing control of speech. The dominion

(pax) of spirit is the outcome of its ability to determine the

exact limits of every one of its manifestations, form the least

to the greatest (see 70 (HSH), 376, 31 Latin).

per. through. it is through peace tat we gain the royal treasure.

part of an inscription found in the vault of CR includes the

phrase "through the Holy spirit we become alive again." (see 683

(Lt), 214)

36 (6*6)

Σ8 = 36. Value of the 7 constituent lines of a heptagram.

The Pythagoreans call 36 "agreement" since it is the first number

in which odd numbers being added together agree with even

numbers. 1+3+5+7 = 16; 2+4+6+8 = 20. 16 +20 = 36 = 6*6.

Attributed to Geburah, it means "The Confirmed". The Zohar

[II:211A p. 298] says: "there being nine Hayoth [Living

Creatures] on each of the four sides of the universe, the total

number is 36."

BKChV be-koako. by his (Her) power [Jeremiah 10:12]. Refers to

the Life-power as dwelling within itself and as working

throughout the field of manifestation from within. See 683, 46,

252, 315, 154, 224, 314, 29.

AHL ohel. tabernacle; tent [Rev. 21:3; Exodus 40:34]. Refers to

the idea of the universe as the abode, or dwelling place, of the

Life-power. The dwelling place of the Shekinah.

ohel, cont. In the prologue of the Zohar [I:6]" MI, was the

beginning of the edifice, existant and not-existant, deep-buried,

unknowable by name. It was only called MI (who). It desired to

become manifest and to be called by name. It therefore clothed

itself in a refulgent and precious garment and created ALH

(these), and ALH acquired a name. The letters of the two names

intermingled, forming the complete name ALHIM (Elohim-God)." see

86.

ALH Eloah. God. A variant of AL. A metathesis of AHL, to hint

that God is His own tabernacle. Also, to be strong, strength, an

oak. Goddess of Geburah.

HLA halah. to removed, cast away; case far off. [Micah 4:7] "and

I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast off

a strong nation: and the Lord shall reign over them in Mount

Zion, from hence forth, even forever. see 165.

VIDVI veidivi. confession.

LV lav, lu. perhaps, possibly; would that, O that! also LV,

glory [Deuteronomy 33:17] "His glory is like the firstling of his

bullock..." see 806. Godwin gives: LA (lo). Not, no.

Fabre D'Olivet gives: "LA. this root is symbol of the line

prolonged to infinity, of movement without term, or action whose

duration is limitless: thence, the opposed ideas of being and

nothingness, which it uses in developing the greater part of its

compounds. the Arabic [word] develops the same ideas as the

Hebrew root. In a restricted sense [it] is represented by the

negative adverbial relations no, not. The verb signifies

literally to shine, sparkle, glisten.

LA or LVA it is in general, an indefinite expansion, and absence

without term expressed is an abstract sense by the relations,

no, not, not at all, definite direction, that is to say, that

which is restrained by means of the assimilative sign Kaph, is

opposed to it. see KH or KN." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored p. 377]

[Genesis 29:23] "And it came to pass in the evening that he

[Laban] took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him [Jacob];

and he went in unto her." Godwin also gives: Mother of Reuben

[259], Simeon [466], Levi, Judah [30], Issachar 9830] and Zebulun

[95].

AIKH eikaw. How? where? How and where is the power of God to be

found? In the glory of his silence. [Godwin: Hebrew title of the

book of Lamentations]

IHVIH Jahviah. "God who knows all things." 33rd Shemhamphorash

Assiah. see 965, 1525, 24.

KBDI. my glory.

Latin/Greek

Aqua. water. This water is the universal substance which fill the

"deep". Here it should be remembered that Venus is fabled to have

sprung from the sea.

Damcar. a "place" in "Arabia" where brother C.R. was initiated.

As DM-KR (264) Damcar means "the blood of the Lamb," which is the

"water of life." This is a correspondence life that between

Argentum vivum, the water of the sages, and DM-ONB, Dam-enab,

"The blood of the grape." Note the same colors, white and red.

see 264, 166, 30 (Lt).

37 (prime)

Number of degrees in the angle formed by lines constituting the

base and hypotenuse of a pythagorean triangle. Therefore the

number 37 defines the union of the Son, Horus, with the Mother,

Isis.

The glyph of mercury. circle = 22, cross = 4, crescent = 11.

Sattva, or alchemical Mercury, is the attribute of Yekhidah. The

numeral value of [IChIDH], Yekhidah, is 37, which we have seen to

be the number of degrees in the angle which determines the

relation of the hypotenuse of a Pythagorean triangle to its base.

Thus the number 37 signifies the principle which maintains the

relation of the evolving forms of the Life-power to Isis, or

Mother Nature. The Supreme SELF, Yekhidah, is this principle [GW

L13]. It is the epithet of the soul of life of Israel = 0 unit in

arithmetic. In Tarot it applies to Virgo (3+7 = 10). 37 is

multiplied into many names and epithets of Jesus Christ. In the

New Testament Jesus calls himself "Son of Man" 37 times. ( Greek

= 2380). The Zohar (123A) says from Isaac's birth to the time of

his being bound were thus the real life of Sarah, as indicated in

the expression "and the Life of Sarah was (VIHIV), the word VIHIV

having the numerical value of 37". The Garden of Pomegranates

gives 12 trials on the Tree of Life with a pendant Malkuth in

Assiah. 3*12 + 1 = 37.

37 * 1 = 37 }1

37 * 2 = 74 }2

37 * 3 = 111 }3

37 * 4 = 148 }4

37 * 5 = 185 }5

37 * 6 = 222 }6

37 * 7 = 259 }7

37 * 8 = 296 }8

37 * 9 = 333 }9

37 is the sum of the squares of 1 and 6, or 1 plus 36, so that

its basic numeral properties are a combination of the powers of

1, or Kether, with those of 6, or Tiphareth.

HKBVD ha-kabode. The weight. the glory. gravitation. The mass or

potential working power concentrated at the center. The rolled-up

scroll or see-idea of the High Priestess, concentrated in the

Primal Will at the beginning of a cycle of the Life-power's self-

expression (see 237).

IChIDH Yekhidah. I AM, The Supreme Self, the Only One, the

single, the indivisible. The cosmic SELF seated in Kether and

associated with the Hermit, "He who stands alone." Yekhidah is

the Cosmic Logos, as the Solar Logos or Christos is the Logos of

our system of planets revolving around the sun. Yekhidah is the

Supreme Head of the universal system designated by the term

Rashith Ha-Galgalim, "Head (or beginning) of the Whirlings".

Yekhidah (Hindu Ishvara) the Supreme Ruler, the One Identity, the

Self is a point of expression for a dynamic energy, a point

through which that energy passes continually. "Qabalists indicate

this realization [Of the meaning of I am, 21] by IChIDH, the

feminine form of IChD, unity . The feminine construction shows

that although the I am is one and alone, it is also conceived in

the ageless wisdom as the vehicle for AIN SVP AVR. As a vehicle,

or receptacle, it is therefore feminine." [Paul Case: True and

Invisible Rosicrucian Order (4th), p. 467] see 149 (Latin), 620,

111.

HBL abel. "to breathe," or "a fleeting breath", vapor, hot air.

The Talmud signifies "to evaporate." Denotes "transitoriness,

emptiness," and is translated "vanity"(to be in vain), in the

English version of Ecclesiastes. From it is derived the proper

name Abel, given to the second son of Adam and Eve and killed by

Cain (#160). Refers to the volatility of the Mercury principle,

and its close link with breath, or air, which the Hindus call

Prana, the Greeks Pneuma, and the Hebrews Ruach. [Job 7:16] "I

loathe it [my life]; I would not always live: let me alone, for

my days are a fleeting breath." [Ecclesiastics 11:10] "Therefore

remove sorrow from your heart, and put away evil from your flesh:

for childhood and youth are vanity."

Understood to be a type of the Messiah to whom the mystical name

Shiloh is given (see 345, 13). Suggests that even the slightest

and most fleeting expressions of the cosmic Life-breath are

essentially identical with the eternal self. Root word of all New

testament appellations of Jesus (see 2368), which are multiples

of 37.

The root-word of all new testament appellations of Jesus (See

2368) which are multiples of 37. From root "to breath, to wave"-

the rhythmic motion of the Life-breath. Heh is "the" the definite

article. BL is "not" equivalent in meaning to LA, the metathesis

of AL, El, strength. Refers to the truth that all things are

transitory expressions of the strength (AL) which is not-

anything. BL is the aramaic word for "hearts", and originally

meant "courage or strength." It is also a contraction of BVL,

Master or Lord. Thus HBL may be read as the (H) No-thing, the

Lord, whose strength is the heart or core of all things (BL).

Also BL is 32 so that HLB may be read as "The 32," referring to

the complete manifestation of the 32 paths of Wisdom.

AVL uwl, owl. might, physical power. from a root meaning "to

twist." Sometimes used as a noun to designate the human body as

being rolled together. [2 Kings 24:15] "And he carried away

Jehoichin to Babylon, and the King's mother, and the King's

wives, and his officers, and the mighty

of the land, those he

carried into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon." [Psalm 73:4]

"For there are no bands in their death, but their strength is

firm."

ALAH Alah. a form of an Aramaic (Chaldee) name of God, compare

with the Arabic Allah (see ALH).

ALV (aluw, iluw, aelloo). as a particle, "lo, behold" (Aramaic).

see 21, khesev. As a conjunction, "if, but" (ALV)-suggests

conditional existence. Also "these", as the multiplicity of

"separate" objects presented to the mind as part of the various

phases of conditional existence.

BLH balah. to palpitate, to trouble, (a primitive Hebrew root)

"The waters were troubled." From this basic idea are derived two

opposite meanings: 1. to wear out, to decay; 2. to spend time;

to be prolonged; to use; to enjoy.

HBL ha-bal. the heart (Aramaic). differently pointed, also "the

lord", "the husband", applied to the Christos, in a Qabalistic

sense.

GDL gadal. a primitive root like [AVL] signifies primarily "to

twist." It has a great variety of meanings as a verb, depending

on the context; but, like these meanings always imply power, and

also size and weight. It indicates the spiral, whirling motion

associated with Key 10 and Jupiter, as well as with Kether. It

has a secondary meaning of "to be strong, to be first, to be

foremost or chief". This idea of magnitude is more definitely

expressed by the feminine noun Gedulah, usually translated

"magnificence."

Heh, Vav, Zain, Teth, Yod. The 5 letter to which are attributed

the 5 senses. H: sight, V: hearing, Z: smell, Th: taste, I:

touch. A hit that the SELF is a focus for the subtle principles

of sensation (tattvas).

ZL zal. giver, profuse, lavish. An intimation of the wealth of

power centered in Kether. [ThTh ZL] Tayth Zal is one name for

the Kether (see 837 Tayth Zal).

LZ laz. division of force.

KBVDH kebodah. glorious (Psalm 45:13). "The king's daughter is

all-glorious within," Kebodah refers particularly to Malkuth,

which is sometimes called "Bride," and "Daughter." Remember,

"Kether is in Malkuth, and Malkuth is in Kether, but after

another manner." This is akin to the Hermetic axiom: "That which

is above is as that which is below, and that which is below is as

that which is above." The root meaning of kabodah, is

ponderability or weight, i.e., that which is manifest as

gravitation (see 44 LHTh].

DGL dagal. banner. The adytum of the One Self is the banner of

deity.

LHB lahab. flame. see 44.

AKAIH achaiah. "god good and patient". 31-35

. Genie. CLOÜS,

Mercury. March 26, June 6, August 16, October 28, January 8.

multum misericus"]. Rules patience, discovers the secrets of

nature; influences the propagation of enlightenment and aids

industry. Persons born: loves to instruct himself in useful

things; glories in the execution of the most difficult works and

discovers many useful processes in the arts. 7th Shemhamphorash;

8 of Pentacles. Godwin gives: Akaih; angel of the 1st quinance

(1-5

) of Virgo; angel by day of the 8 of Pentacles. this

represents the operation of Hod, sphere of Mercury, in Assiah,

the material world. Davidson translates this name as "trouble:,

and says that in the Qabalah, he is one of 8 Seraphim [Dictionary

of Angels, p. 6]

VAL valu. Gothic demon by night of the 2nd decante of

Sagittarius. [Mathers]

LAV lav. 11th name of Shemhamphorash, short form, associated

LAV lau. 17th name of shemhamphorash, short form, associated

with the 5th quinance (21-25

) of Libra. see 52, 1525.

VChZVI. sanctuary, adytum

Greek/Latin

He thebeh (Gr). Ark [Exodus 2:2 in the Greek Septuagint]. The ark

in the bulrushes (Moses). The life-power is the ark which

preserves us from every danger. Both it and Noah;s ark suggest

preservation of Life, and the transition from one cycle of the

Life-power's manifestation to another. The point of "beginning,"

which is really a point of transition from relative quiescence to

a period of relative activity, is symbolized as an ark.

linea. line, boundary, limit, goal (see Qav (106).

Non. Not, nothing. compare to ABL above.

Draco (Latin) Dragon. The Alchemical serpent power. see 358. In

the book of Lambspring "A savage dragon lives in the forest (56

Latin), most venomous he is, yet lacking nothing: when he sees

the rays of the sun and its birth fire, he scatters abroad his

poison, and flies upward so fiercely that no living creature can

stand before him, nor is even the basilisk equal to him."

[Hermetic Museum I, p. 286]. Case: Draco = 37 = Panacea. see 72

(Latin).

Panacea(Latin). Universal medicine. Concerning the dragon, or

serpent-power, it is said "He who hath skill, to slay him, wisely

hath escaped from all dangers, yet all venom and colors, are

multiplied in the hour of his death. His venom becomes the great

medicine. He quickly consumes his venom, for he devours his

poisonous tail. All this is performed on his own body, form which

flows forth glorious balm, with all its miraculous virtues. Here

all the sages do loudly rejoice." [Hermetic Museum I, p. 286].

see 72 (Latin).

tu. thou, you (singular form). "Thou art that."

vas (Latin). vase. An alchemical term describing the "vase of

art." The vase is Tu and Tu is also IChIDH (see 1630, 202).

GLH galah. to lay bare, to denude, to strip of concealment (see

114). to expose or reveal; to open (a book). [Amos 3:37?] letter

by letter GLH means: G: Success in the Great Work depends on the

discovery of the 1st matter. In order to expose it we must employ

the power of recollection and association represented by the High

Priestess (holding a rolled up scroll) who is a symbol of the 1st

matter. L: True faith which takes form in persevering action in

the daily test and trial where no visible success is evident; H:

the discovery is to be made with the mind- in the light of reason

and of the dominion over the conditions of physical existence.

LCh leakh. vigor, natural force [Deuteronomy 34:7]. " And Moses

was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not

dim, nor his natural force (vigor) abated." Lakh. As an adjective

moist, fresh, new, unused; liquid.

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "LCh. Every movement directed toward

elementary existence and making effort to produce itself, to make

its appearance. The Arabic [word] develops in general, all ideas

of conhesion, of contaction, and retains only the physical and

material acceptations of the Hebraic root.

LCh Natural vigour; innate movement of vegatation; radical

moisture: that which is verdant, young, moist, fresh; that which

is glowing with youth, beauty, freshness; that which is smooth,

soft to the touch; etc." [The Hebraic Tongue Restored, pp. 380-

81]

ChL Chal. Wall, rampart. Root of ChLTh, Khalat, to catch, to

ascertain, to decide (see 6, 14, 10, 22, 47). Also ChL (chol),

profane, unholy, to make a hole, hollow; to violate.

According to Fabre D'Olivet: "ChL Hel. This root, composed of the

sign of elementary existence united to the root AL, symbol of

extensive force and of every movement which bears upward,

produces a mass of ideas which is very difficult to fix

accurately. It is, in general, a superior effort which causes a

distention, extension, realization; it is all unknown force which

breaks the bonds of bodies by stretching them, breaking them,

reducing them to shreds, or by dissolving them, relaxing them to

excess.

ChL every idea of extension, effort, made up a thing to extend,

develop, stretch or conduct it to a point or end, a twinge, a

pain: a preserving movement; hope, expectation.

The Arabic [word] develops, in general, all the ideas contained

in the Hebraic root. In a restricted sense it is the action of

loosening, relaxing, releasing, resolving, absolving, etc. When

the root receives the guttural reinforcement, it express in

[Arabic word] the state of privation, indigence; that which

lacks, which is wanting, in any manner whatsoever. ChL and LL

(intensive) distention, distortion; contortion; endurance;

solution of continuity; an opening, a wound: extreme relaxation,

dissolution, profanation, pollution, weakness, infirmity,

debility, vanity, effeminate dress, ornament; a flute; a

the material world of action. See 24.

40 (5*8)

Number of weeks of the gestation of a human child.

M Mem. One of the 3 mother letters. Mem refers to the alchemical

idea tht the element of Water is the source of form, associated

with the creative letter Heh, and tht the multiplication of forms

is the apparent subdivision of the ONE into various parts. [So

the verb BRA, bawraw (203), which is usually rendered "create",

also means primarily "to cut out, to cut apart" -the diversifying

power of Binah, the root of Water.

"The Mem, whose name's primary meaning is "water", represents in

its form as well as its name various bodies of water...it

resembles a womb, which for the fetus is a "fountain of life." In

Hebrew, the word AM, mother, also means "womb." Its essential

consonant is the letter Mem. In most languages Mem is the basic

sound of "mother." In general, the symbol of mother nature, Eve,

"the mother of all life," is the womb of all (manifest)

existence. This is after she ascends in aspiration--the secret of

the letter Lamed--to receive from Adam the seed of life." [The

Alef-Beit, Rabbi Ginsburgh]

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "This character as consonant, belongs to

the nasal sound. As symbolic image it represents woman, mother,

companion of man; that which is productive, creative. As

grammatical sign, it is the maternal and female sign of exterior

and passive action; placed at the beginning of words it depicts

that which is local and plastic; placed at the end, it becomes

the collective sign, developing the being in infinitive space, as

far as its nature permits, or unity by abstraction, in one single

being all those of the same kind. In Hebrew it is the extractive

or partitive article...expressing in nouns or actions that sort

of movement by which a name or an action, it taken for means or

instrument, is divided in its essence, or is drawn from the midst

of several other similar nouns or actions.

The Hebraist grammarians while considering this character as

heemanthe have not ceased, nevertheless, to confound it with the

words which it modifies as sign, as I shall show in several

important examples in my notes. [The Hebrew Tongue Restored,

p.385]

EXTRACTIVE or PARTITIVE ARTICLE. The movement which this article

expresses, with nouns or actions is taken for the means, for the

instrument, by which they are divided in their essence, or drawn

from the midst of several other nouns or similar actions. I

render it ordinarily by from, out of, by; with, by means of,

among, between, etc. [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.112]

BChL bakhal. to loathe, feel nausea. The state of consciousness

preceding the attainment of the consciousness symbolized by Key

12.

BChL bokhal. the ripening (of figs); puberty of women.

GZL gawzal. to cut off or flay, to take away, to strip off, as

skin from the flesh; to rob or plunder. Refers to the alchemical

idea that the element water is the source of form, associated

with the creative letter Heh and the multiplication of forms is

the apparent subdivision of the ONE into various parts.

ChBL chawbal. As a verb it means: to twist, to wind together, to

bind; to pledge; to pervert, to damage, to act corruptly, to sin,

to wound. As a noun (cheybel), a cord, a rope; pain, sorrow; a

measuring line; a snare. Limitation and measurement are

inseparable from creation-the One Life sacrifices itself for

manifestation, which is a source of pain and sorrow. This world

is a delusion and a snare to those who misapprehend the meaning

of its appearances. Also with different points: woe! Oh! Alas!;

what a pity! This mixture is a breaking up of "the still calm of

Pure Being..." A sense in which the original purity of the

subsisting ONE is damaged or destroyed by the creative process.

ChLB chawlawb. milk, With different vowels: cheyeleyb, meaning:

fatness; the best of it. The "Virgin's Milk" or alchemical water.

From the element of Water the Wise derive all their supplies of

substance for manifestation.

ID IHVH Yod Tetragrammaton. the hand of Jehovah (formative

power). Ezekiel 1:3 "The had of the Lord was upon him."

Signifies the formation power of the One Reality. Alchemical

Water is the agency or power whereby the One Reality projects its

creative energy into specific forms (see 90).

VLD vahlahd. child boy; infant, embryo; young of an animal.

GVAL Goale. redeemer, savior, messiah, liberator, a title of

Yesod. Also kinsman, relative. Jeremiah 59:20: "and a redeemer

will come to Zion." see 233, 4, 400, 233, 44. [It is important

for the understanding of the passage cited, Job 19:25 (My

redeemer, 44), to know that the fundamental meaning of GVL,

"Redeemer" is a blood

relative, or one next of kin.]

LI Li. to me, to mine. We shall come to the redeemer, when we

hear the call. We are driven (Lamed) to the Father (Yod).

ThLA tahlah. To patch; to cover with spots [Genesis 30:20].

bordering on Arabia where the Tsukhi, a powerful people, are

found. [William Smith-dictionary of the Bible] Shuah was a son of

Abraham [Genesis 25:2, 6]. Bilad means "Bel loves". Bel was the

Babylonian analog of Jupiter, connected with champion of the gods

and savior.

logical series. Used in SECRET SYMBOLS, plate 33 to illustrate

the same basic idea as that which is symbolized by the Tree of

AIL ayil. strength, power. with different vowel points:

terebinth, oak. Also: ram, head, chief, mighty one; pilaster,

through the sign Aries (see 44).

AM Am. womb. origin, commencement; mother; basis. Refers of

Binah (Aima) as when it is said [ChKMH AB BINH AM] "Wisdom is the

name of Chesed and has the same basic meaning of strength as its

metathesis [AIL]. [Psalm 18:3].

IH IHVH Yah Tetragrammaton. Lord God. [Psalm 118:5,6] "I called

upon the Lord in distress: The Lord answered me, and set me in a

large place. The Lord is on my side: I will not fear: What can

man do unto me?" In this Psalm IH, Yah, ends the 5th verse, and

IHVH begins the 6th; and the Qabalistic use of this combination

is to represent the union of Chokmah, Father (IH) with Tiphareth,

Son (IHVH). see 67, 4, 15, 105.

AChLB ahlab, aleawb. "fatness, fertility." Name of the City of

42 (2*3*7)

AMA Amah. the dark, sterile Mother. Binah as the feminine power

of specializing and finitising prior to manifestation of actual

forms. "The Eternal Parent, wrapped in her ever invisible robes,

had slumbered once again for seven eternities." [Dztanzz] see 52,

67, 86, 112, 199, 265.

ALVH Eloah. (Job 19:26). A name of God from the same root as

Elohim, the particular Divine Name assigned to Binah.

BLI beliy. failure, destruction; no, not, without. Since Binah

finitizes, the third Sephirah is the seat of the restrictive

power by means of which separation is brought about. Hence is

Binah also the Sphere of Saturn.

BHLH bebalah. dismay, terror, confusion, shock; sudden haste.

All these words apply to Binah as the dark, sterile, "terrible"

mother. Without balance form the masculine principle, her energy

turns upon itself.

BLHH babahlahah. terror, horror, calamity. also Bilhah; Rachel s

handmaiden; mother of Dan [#54] and Naphtali [#570]. Genesis

29:29: "Laban gave his servant girl Bilhah to his daughter Rachel

as her maidservant." Inman says the name is derived from BL, Bel

and HVH: "Bel creates", or Bel moves around us." [Ancient Faiths

Embodied in Ancient Names, p. 368]

ChLD kheled. What glides swiftly, what is transient. A noun for

life, it refers to the personal life of man, considered as being

fleeting, ephemeral. Kheled is also a special Qabalistic name for

the "earth" of Malkuth. There is a very definite relationship

between Binah, the Mother, and Malkuth, the Bride. Kheled, in

this connection, refers to the world of man, including his

terrestrial environment, as being essentially transitory, as

undergoing continual change. Godwin gives: Cheled; one of the

seven earth; corresponding (with Tebhel) to Yesod and Malkuth;

our own earth.

ChDL khahdal. As a verb to cease. to desist, to come to an end.

As a noun KDL, khedel, cessation, this world; the place of rest.

the abode of dead, a yawning gulf. As an adjective KDL,

forebearing, lacking; ceasing, transient. Translated "frail" in

Psalm 39:4 In the Jewish translation of the Massoretic text, KDL

is translated "short-lived." Compare this with the meaning of

ChNTh (#67). MH-ChDL, "how short-lived" is the actual wording in

the Hebrew text. see 45.

Latin/Greek

Chaos (Lt). "a yawning gulf." In Latin it is associated with the

idea of boundless space and darkness. It designates the confused,

formless, primitive mass out of which the universe was made. It

is the Great Abyss of Darkness; and because the idea of that

darkness is related to Binah, the third Sephirah is colored black

in our symbolic scale. Note that chaos is the primitive state of

natura. see 67.

"The endless eternity and unsearchable Primum Mobile [#130] are

represented by the trinity, which produces the Fiat (#34) and

produces nature in the mode of Prima Materia [#112], otherwise

chaos." [A.E. Waite: Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross, p. XXII].

liber (Lt). a book, a rescript, a decree. All these ideas refer

to natura, which is the "one, only book" mentioned by

Rosicrucians. In Tarot, the Book of Nature is the scroll of the

High Priestess.

luna. the moon, silver in alchemy. Connected with the High

Priestess, who is the dark and terrible mother, Hekate, Goddess

of the underworld, which is the abode of the dead. The world is

ChDL, khedel. In later alchemical and heraldic use, Luna denotes

the metal silver. see 160, 146, 40.

canis (Lt). dog. Recall the dog in Key 18, the Moon. In the Book

of Lambspring it says: "Alexander writes from Persia that a wolf

and a dog are in the field, which, as the sages say, are

descended from the same stock, but the wolf comes from the east,

and dog from the west. They are full of jealousy, fury, rage, and

madness: One kills the other, and from them come a great poison.

But when they are restored to life, they are clearly shown to be

the great and precious medicine, the most glorious remedy upon

the earth, which refreshes and restores the sages, who render

thanks to god, and do praise him." [Hermetic Museum I, p. 284].

see 56, 79 (Latin) Case: Canis = 42 = Luna.

Ogdoad. 8 pointed star; symbol of the "creative Logos whose name

is Alpha and Omega-the radiations of which result in the

continuous flow and unbroken circle of manifestation which is

ever returning to its source." [Atwood: A Suggestive Inquiry into

Alchemy, p. 2]

43 (prime)

AI-KBVD akabod, Ichabod. "Where is the..." The son of the priest

Phineas, born on the occasion of the capture of the ark. 1 Samuel

4:21: "And she named the child Ichabod, saying, the glory is

departed form Israel, because the ark of God was taken, and

because of her father in law and her husband."

GIL gayil. to rejoice, delight, to mourn. also tongue of a bell.

GM gahm. also, even, too, moreover, yes. The affirmative that

the Great glory is within us always. see 603. Also means

together, as in Psalm 133:1: "how good and pleasant it is when

brothers live together in unity." see 65.

Fabre D'Olivet writes: "GM. Every idea of accumulation,

agglomeration, complement, height; expressed in an abstract sense

by the relations also, same, again. The Arabic [word] develops as

does the Hebraic root, all ideas of abundance and accumulation.

As verb, it is the action of abounding, multiplying; as noun, and

in a restrictive sense, [it] expresses a precious stone, in Latin

gemma." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 315]

IDIDIH yedidiah. "One beloved by God". The name given to Solomon

at this birth by the prophet Nathan. 2 Samuel 12:25: "And because

the Lord loved him, he sent word through Nathan the prophet to

majesty. see 48, 72.

LIZ Lo. Hazel, almond. Alternative wood used for making the

magical wand. Name of the place where Jacob is said to have had

the dream of angels ascending and descending a ladder. Also a

verb whose primitive meaning is "to turn away, to deviate."

Latter ideas include forwardness and perversity, linking it to

the path of Gimel--the involution or descent of energy from

Kether, the cause of all limitations and "evils." see 404.

LIZ. Little Bone. A. E. Waite: "Each man who is born into the

world is provided with an imperishable bone in his present

physical body, and it is from or on this that his organization

will be built up anew at the time of the resurrection-it is like

the rib taken from the side of Adam. The bone in question will be

to the risen body that which the leaven is to the dough". [3

Books of Occult Philosophy Ch: 20 Page 68]

GDVL gadva. great-in mass or size (weighty, important); in

or divine agency through which God rules the World. The

intermediary power between the Primal Will [Kether] and its

vowel points: Cake. Numbers 15:20: "Ye shall offer of a cake of

MG mag. Magus; the Rosicrucian grade corresponding to Chokmah,

sphere of the Zodiac. Part of the Supernal Triad of master of the

inner school, our spiritual Hierarchy. Also: Persian priest,

chief of the Magi. Jeremiah 39:3: "Then all the officials of the

King of Babylon took seats in the middle gate: Nergal-Sharezer of

Samgar, Nebo-Sareskim a chief officer, Nergal-Sharezer a chief

priest [i.e. Magus] and all the other officials of the King of

Babylon."

Fabre D'Olivet writes: "MG. Root not used in Hebrew. The Arabic

[word] expresses the idea of a thing which is sour, acrid,

bitter, sharp; which irritates, troubles, torments. In a

restrictive sense the verb signifies to be repugnant." [The

Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 386]

Latin/Greek

Filii (Lt). of the son. The "son" is BN, Ben, or Tiphareth. see

53.

44 (4*11)

The sum of the 9 sides, 14 corners and 21 boundary lines of the

vault of the adepts. Combined value of Mercury (37) and sulphur

(7).

Perimeter of a circle with a diameter of 14. Circumference of the

Creative World, Briah.

44 is the number of the holy metals or pentacles (pantacles) of

the planets, which are as follows: 7 each to Saturn, Jupiter,

Mars and Sun (28 in all), five each to Venus and Mercury (10 in

all) and 6 to Luna. Note that this distribution represents 44 as

being composed of the addition of the three triangular numbers

28, 10, and 6, or the extension of 7, 4, and 3. Here we have a

hint because the basic digits 3, 4, and 7 from which these number

are derived multiply together to make 84, and add together to

make 14, and which the great pyramid is reckoned as having a

height of 14, its sloping edges have combined length of 84

(approximately, in whole numbers).

As 4 times 11, refers mystically to the time, times and half a

time mentioned in the apocalypse. By reference to the notes of

the number 11, it will be seen that 11 years are the

circumference of a diameter of 42 months. Therefore in this

connection, 44 would represent 4 times 11 Egyptian years, or 4

times 3960 days = 15,840 days = 528 months of 30 days each."

[Paul Case: Notes on Numbers]

ALIAB eliab. "God of his Father."

AB + AM. Father + Mother. "is the number(44) resulting from the

addition of the numbers of the Hebrew words AB = 3 and AM = 41,

Father and Mother, referring to Chokmah and Binah. It therefore

represents the union of Wisdom and Understanding." [Paul Case:

Notes on Numbers]

DM dam. blood. Formed from the word Adam [ADM]. The physical

organism of Man is condensed from Blood. see 5, 55, 45. The

Location of the temple of the Wise men was at Dam-Car, in Arabia.

Dam-Car means: Blood of the Lamb. It is the initiate's own body.

The practices of initiation modify blood chemistry. Arabia

(sterility) refers to the necessary celibacy which gives the

strength for initiation. see 470, 68.

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "DM. The roots which, by means of any

sign whatever, arise from the roots AB or AM, symbols of active

or passive principles, are all very difficult to determine and to

grasp, on account of the extent of meaning which they present,

and the contrary ideas which they produce. These particularly

demand close attention. It is, at first glance, universalized

sympathy; that is to say, a homogeneous thing formed by affinity

of similar parts, and holding to the universal organization of

being.

DM is a broader sense, it is that which is identical; in a more

restricted sense, it is blood, assimilative bond between soul and

body, according to the profound though of Moses... It is that

which assimilates, which becomes homogeneous; mingles with

another thing: thence the general idea of that which is no longer

distinguishable, which ceases to be different; that which

renounces its seity, its individuality, is identified with the

whole, is calm, quiet, silent, asleep.

That Arabic [word] has developed in the ancient language the same

general idea; but in the modern idiom this root has received

acceptations somewhat different. [The Arabic word] expresses in

general a glutinous, sticky fluid. In particular, as noun, it is

blood; as verb; it is the action of covering with a glutinous

glaze. From the later meaning results, in the analogue [word],

that of contaminating, calumniating, covering with blame."

[Hebrew Tongue Restored p. 323-324]

Sendovigius assets: "Thou hast in thy body the anatomy of the

whole world, and all thy members answer to some celestials; let,

therefore, the searcher of the sacred science know that the soul

in man, the lesser world or microcosm, substituting the place of

its center, is the king, and is placed in the vital spirit in the

purest blood [DM]. That governs the mind, and the mind the

body..." [New Light of Alchemy, p. 42] Also: Blood, the first of

the 10 plagues of Egypt. Exodus 7:19: "the Lord said to Moses,

"Tell Aaron," take your staff and stretch out your hand over the

waters of Egypt-over the streams and canals, over the ponds and

the reservoirs," and they will turn to blood. Blood will be

everywhere in Egypt, even in the wooden buckets and stone jars."

ThLH Teleh.. Aries. a young ram. Aries is a fire-sign. Refers to

Christos, Brother C.R. and the brain is under the rulership of

Aries, the means whereby man controls the forces of flame used in

magic. The sign Aries, as the beginning of the zodiac, is a

symbol of the commencement of the creative activities in BRIAH

which result ultimately in the Life-Power's self-expression in

the names and forms of the physical world. The Ram and the Lamb

are one, and correspond to the Hindu deity Angi, Lord of Flame

(LHT).

It is from blood that the substance used in the Great Work is

derived-identical with the Lunar (white) and solar (red) currents

of prana "congealed" or brought into a solid state by gradual

loss of Heat.

ChVL khool. sand. The root of the noun is a verb spelled with

the same letters meaning, "to turn round, to twist, to whirl."

[Job 29:18]. The birth of the alchemical 1st matter is in the

sand (mineral kingdom). Alchemist call this their Phoenix-a

spiral twisting motion directly connected with sound and thought.

Also: to dance, to twist, writhe. To turn in a circle. Note the

letter sequence: fence, nail, ox-goad. Suggesting movement within

an enclosure, round a pivot (Vav, like the point in the center of

a circle), incited by the law of action and re-action of which

the letter Lamed and Key 11 symbolizes. As a masculine noun ChVL

means sand, on account of the whirling pillars of sand familiar

to all desert dwellers, which are the source of tales about

Genies. Khole, is also the Hebrew name of the Legend of the

Phoenix. In Job 29:18: "and I shall multiply my days as the

sand." The Jewish translation is: "and I shall multiply by days

as the Phoenix." [VKChVL]: "And like the Phoenix or sand," is the

literal translation. Sands refers to the mineral Kingdom-first

substance in the Pythagorean triangle. ChVL is also the root of

the name ChVILH (#58), "The land of Havilah where there is Gold."

[Genesis 2:11] see 127, 395. Also: to wait, hope, to fall upon,

happen; to be firm, strong.

LHTh lahat. magic; flame, The flame of light. The art of Life.

In relation to BRIAH, Teleh and [LHT] are technical mystery-

terms, referring to the same idea that is expressed in the New

Testament mention of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the

world. Aries represent the beginning of creative activities in

Briah which result in physical names and forms. The Ram and the

Lamb are one and correspond to the Hindu Agni, Lord of Flame

(LHTh). see 7, 14, 22, 28, 66, 88. also: magic arts,

enchantments; glittering blade, glitter, flashing. as a verb

LHTh: to flame, consume, to practice magic; to hide, to cover.

ha-khereb. the sword.

???[ARVCh]. a path, a narrow way,

AGLI agliy. drops (of fluid). A clear reference to blood, also

to the heavenly influence which fall in "drops" as in Key 16, 18,

19. see 83.

AGM agam. to gather together; a pool, a pond, muddy water;

marsh; uncleared ground containing roots of trees, reedland;

sorrow. As an adjective, sad, depressed, despondent, sorrow, "the

slough of despond." The pilgrim's progress is an example of the

same imagery.

DLI dalee. a vessel for drawing water, Aquarius. Refers to the

Aquarian age, symbolized by the head of a man, which will perfect

the human arts, science and philosophy. In the New Testament, the

bucket is a significant symbol, recorded in Mark 14:13 and Luke

22:10. The Greek word one of the many indications as to the real

meaning behind the surface narrative. see 296.

Regarding the book Ancient Faiths by Inman, Paul case comments on

his translation "to emit semen": DLI = Aquarius, the water-

bearer." The two pitchers, DLIV = 50 = N = Scorpio and the two

who bear the water [MI] should be easily understood by readers of

the book. Aquarius is the distinctive sign of man, and manhood =

virilitas = KCh (strength, power, #28)" [Note, p. 430] Mark 14:13

"And he sends two of this disciples, and says to them, go into

the city, and a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you;

follow him. "

GALI goali. "my redeemer." [Job 19:25] It is important for the

understanding of the passage cited to know that the fundamental

GVLH golah. captivity, exile, banishment; those in exile. Refers

to the limitations which are the logical necessities of creation.

ADM Adam. generic humanity, a proper name. It particularly

refers to man the microcosm. The verbal symbol for the ALL. Aleph

refers to Kether, the Crown, Daleth to Malkuth, the Kingdom and

Mem to Binah, Understanding (Zohar). The WORD by whom all things

were made, and without whom nothing was made that was made

(John). The primordial man is the universal mind looking inward

into itself or Chokmah (Wisdom). By its letter is hints of the

combination of the Spirit of Rauch (Aleph) in the Blood [DM].

Adam embraces the essential nature of the whole Tree of Life.

Adam is God s image or mental self-representation. this mental

image of itself in the universal mind is also the primary being

underlying the whole self manifestation of the Life-power. Adam,

the primordial man, is referred to M???? and corresponds to

Eheyah, "I am", and to Yekhidah, the indivisible. see 21, 37. ADM

= Microcosmic philosopher s stone and (the elements) acting thus

in concert upon each other, there result from them a harmonious

whole, which composes what is called the Philosopher s stone, or

the Microcosm." [Pernety, The Great Art, p. 82] "ADM is the form

which comprehendeth all things." [I.R.Q. 799] Adam is "Red

Earth", the earth of the sages [Paul Case on D.D. Bryant, VI, 6]

*Fabre D'Olivet comments: "ADM. Adam... I beg those who are

reading this without partiality, to observe that Moses does not

fall here into the modern error which has made of man a

particular species in the animal kingdom; but only after having

finished all that he wished to say concerning the elementary, the

vegetable and the animal kingdom, he passes on to a kingdom

distinct and higher that he names ADM, Adam.

Among the savants who have searched for the etymology of the word

Adam, the majority went no further than its grossest exterior,

nearly all of them have seen only red cay, or simple clay,

because the word ADVM signifies red or reddish; because by ADMH,

the earth in general, has been understood; but they failed to see

that these words themselves are compounds, and that they can only

be roots of words still are compound; whereas the word ADM being

more simple cannot come for it.

The Egyptian priest, authors of this mysterious name, and of a

great part of those employed by Moses, have composed it with an

infinite art. It presents three meanings, as do the great part of

those of those which enter into the composition of the

Beraeshita. The first, which is the literal meaning, has been

restricted more and more, in proportion as the ideas of the

Hebrews have been narrowed and materialized; so that it is

doubtful whether it was understood in its purity even at the

epoch of the Babylonian captivity, at least by the vulgar. The

Samaritan version, the most ancient of all, is also the one which

conserves best its signification. It is seen in the efforts made

by the translator to find a correspondg expression. After have

copied the name itself [Sumerian word], he sought a synonym of it

in [Sumerian word] man; but feeling that this synonym did not

render the Hebrew, he chose the [Sumerian word] word universal,

infinte,...

The name given to Adam ADM, signifies not only "homo," man, but

it characterizes, as the Samaritian hand clearly seen in

rendering it by [Sumerian word], unversal, that which we

understand by mankind, and which we would express much better by

saying kingdom of man; it is collective man, man abstractly

formed of the assemblage of all men. This is the literal meaning

of ADM.

...This root is DM which carries with itself every idea of

assimilation, of similitude, of homogeneity. Governed by the sign

of poer and stability Aleph, it becomes the image of an immortal

assimilation, of an aggeration of homofeneous and indestructive

parts. Such is the etymology of the Adam, ADM, in its figurative

sense.

...the hieroglyphic meaning, which Moses allows nevertheless, to

be understood in the same verse, and to wich he makes allusion,

by causeing the same noun, which is singular, to govern the

future plural verb IVDV: quite contrary to the rule which he had

followed, of making the noun of the Being of Beings ALHIM which

is plural, govern always the singular verb. The hieroglyphic root

of the name Adam, ADM is AD, which composed of the sign of

unitary, principiant power, and that of divisibility, offers the

image of a relative unity, such as might be expressed, for

example, by means of the simple although compound number 10. The

root number being endowed with the collective sign Mem, assumes

an unlimited development: that is to say, the symbolic number 10,

being taken to represent the root AD, the sign Mem will develop

its progressive power to infinity, as 10; 100; 1,000; etc."

[Hebrew Tongue Restored p. 56-59]

According to Gaskell, Adam is its higher aspect is "a symbol of

the divine nature of humanity-the archetypal man of the three

higher planes" and in its lower aspect, "a symbol of the lower

mind, energies from the desire plane, but receptive of impression

from the higher nature. This is the fallen mind (Adam)."

[Dictionary of all Scriptures and Myths, pp. 22-23]

Issac Myer writes: "The Great androgyne, the Adam Illa-Ah or Adam

Qadman, which includes in itself all the ideas, and all the

content of all the prototypes of the existence. This (first) Adam

is considered as the first distinctive beginning in the finite,

and therefore is the sole occupant of the Atzluthic world... in

reading the first and second chapters of Genesis, a distinction

was made by the learned of the Israelites, between the higher

Adam, i.e. the Adam Qadmon, or first paradigmic ideal man, and he

inferior (terrestrial) Adam... "The third Adam is the terrestrial

Adam, made of dust and placed in the Garden of Eden. This Adam

was also an androgyne... it had, when first created, a glorious

simulacrum or light body, and answer to the Yetziratic world...

The forth Adam was the third Adam as he was after the fall, when

he was clothed with skin, flesh, nerves, etc. This answers to the

lower Nephesh and Guph, i.e. body, united. He has the animal

power of reproduction and continuance of species, and also

answers to the Assiatic world, but in him is some of the light of

all the preceding (Adams)... together they form the great

universal man. The Qabalah names man as the purpose of creation,

and the first step in the upper Adam or celestial man." [Qabbalah

pp. 114, 401, 418]

The Zohar [I 26A, 34B] comments: "And the Lord God formed Man.

Man here refers to Israel, whom God shaped at that time both for

this world and for the future world. Further, the word Vayizer

(and he formed) implies that God brought them under the aegis of

his own name by shaping the two eyes like the letter Yod and the

nose between like the letter Vav (p. 101)... The words let us

make man may be taken to signify that God imparted to the Lower

beings who came from the side of the upper world the secret of

forming the divine name Adam , which embraces the upper and the

lower in virtue of its three letters, Aleph, Daleth and Mem

final. When these three form of the breath of life [#448]. Thus

the germ set by Jehovah Elohim in Humanity had been formed

earlier; existing already in the bosom of the Elohim, it was now

implanted in man, whose material body had been formed in another

way. Thus something entered man from another side. Only by the

endowment with Neshamah was it possible to implant in man the

rudiments of the Ego nature. These old Hebrew expressions,

Nephesh , Rauch, Neshamah are parallel with ours. Nephesh, as

regards man, we may set beside the sentient soul; Rauch we may

apply to the intellectual soul; Neshamah to the consciousness

soul." [Biblical Secrets of Creation, pp. 118-122]

F.J. Mayers observes: "Let us return again for a moment to the

name Adam and note its hieroglyphic construction. A [Aleph] as

we know denotes anything primal-the first cause ; potentiality -

God . D [Daleth] is the sign of multiplication, abundance;

final M [Mem] is the sign of unlimited plurality. The name

Adam therefore means the one becoming many . But as a spiritual

being, Adam was only One. As we said in speaking of the group-

souls , a spiritual conception, a species or genus cannot, as

such, multiply. It can only multiply in the number of individuals

comprised in it, and this multiplication can only take place on

the physical plane... We have now, the explanation of Adam

being both singular and plural, him and them ; and both male

and female [see #390]. In his singular aspect he was the

human principle , the soul or essence of humanity . As a

spiritual unity Adam was sexless, but sex was a necessity of

multiplication in the physical realm-and in the physical realm

alone ... [in Genesis 2:7] What we are told of now is still a

spiritual act, the formation of a spiritual being in the

spiritual realm, but eternal to the essential being of God. The

Adam still has no physical or material form of existence. He was

formed not of the dust of the earth or of any earthy substance,

but from the Adamah . [see #50]-The spiritual elements of

humanity, of the qualities and attributes that constitute man a

kingdom of being in himself or a link between the sub-human and

divinity." [The Unknown God, pp. 90, 121]

which are wanting, all of which is accomplished by Sol, the

Beauty that transforms the beast." [The Art of Alchemy VIII, 8]

The Asch Mezareph [IV pp. 27-28] says: "Bedil, Tin; in natural

science, this metal is not greatly used; for as it is derived by

separation, so its matter remains separate from the universal

medicine. Amongst the planets Zedek [TzDQ = 194 = Jupiter] is

attributed to it; a white wandering planet, to which the gentiles

applied an idolatrous name, mention where of is forbidden, see

[Exodus 22:12] ("and if it be stolen from him, he shall make

restitution to the owner thereof"), and a greater extirpation is

promised [Hosea 2:17] ("For I will take away the names of Baalim

out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their

name") and [Zechariah 13:2] ("And it shall come to pass in that

day, says the Lord of Hosts, that I will cut off the names of the

idols out of the Land, and they shall no more be remembered: And

also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out

of the land.") Amongst the beast, no allegory is better applied

to this metal than that because of its crackling, it should be

called 'Chazir Mijaar, a boar out the wood [Psalm 80:14], whose

number is 545 (which is not only made 5 times from 109, but in

its lesser number shows a quinary, as twice taken is 10, the

lesser number of the word Bedil, by the two figures of 46 being

added together. But five times ten shows the fifty gates of

Binah, and the first letter of the Sephirah Netzach, which is the

Sephirotic class to which this metal is referred). In particular

transformation, its sulphurous nature alone both not profit, but

with other sulphurs, especially those of the red metals, it does

reduce thick waters, dully terrificated into Gold; so also into

Silver, it its nature by Tin. But its viscous and water nature

may be meliorated into Gold, if it be only pulverized with the

calx of Gold through all the degrees of fire, for ten days, and

by degrees thrown upon flowing Gold, in the form of the little

masses, which also I am taught is to be done with Silver. But no

man is wise unless his master is experience."

According to Fabre D'Olivet: "ChM. Ham... this name is on the

whole, the opposite of that of Shem. The sign Cheth which

constitutes it, recalls al ideas of effort, of obstacle, or

fatigue of travail. The root which result from its union with the

sign of exterior action, employed as collective, presents a

bending, a dejection, a thing which inclines toward the lower

parts: it is the heat which follows a sharp compression: it is

the hidden fire of nature: it is the warmth which accompanies the

rays of the sun; it is the dark color, the blackness, which

results from their action; it is finally, in the broadest sense,

the sun itself considered as the cause of heat and of

torrefaction.

When the name of Ham is presented alone and in an absolute sense,

it can be taken in a good sense, since it expresses the effect of

the sun upon inferior bodies; but if one only sees in it the

opposite of Shem, it offers only sinister ideas. If Shem is the

sublime, the superior, Ham is the abased, the inferior; so if the

former is the radiant, the exalted, the infinite, the latter is

the obscure, the bending, the limited, etc. [The Hebrew Tongue

Restored, p. 170-171]

is the actual substance of all material forms. The universally

diffused radiance is concentrated into suns, and their world

systems, and flames in every galaxy. It penetrates every solid

thing and overcomes the subtle... [John] Dee s analysis of LUX

into the component parts of a cross has analogues elsewhere

amongst occultist, as you probably know. I suspect that Mathers

and Westcott, or perhaps Mathers alone, developed it from the

hints in Dee s Monas [Hieroglyphic Monad]. Written L.V.X., so

that its letters are separated by periods, the letters are then

taken as Roman numerals, and their addition is 65.." [Paul Case,

op, cit. p.6] see 116, 364, 207, 73, 122 (Lt), 620, 397.

niger (Lt). Black. the absence of Light. Color of the Black

alchemical process, the Gold (Spirit) which is God, and the base

metal which is man have been conjoined and man becomes the

Living Stone. the Keystone of the Arch in Masonic phraseology.

The androgyne consciousness is represented by the Hermetic cypher

REBIS, meaning the two things. The alchemical double Mercury

bears the same significance. Albert Pike employs the grand climax

of Masonic initiations. He writes: For as birth, life, exaction,

suffering in fire and death were, as it were, ascribed to the

philosopher s stone in black and gloomy colors, and finally

resurrection and life in red and other beautiful colors, so the

terrestrial stone (man s body) may be compared with the celestial

stone (the Body of Christ)." [Occult Anatomy and the Bible, XII,

New Birth Through Regeneration, p. 37]

50 (2*5*5)

The 50 "Gates of Understanding" attributed to Binah.

Number of faces of the 5 platonic polyhedra and the number of

their points of vertices.

Kaph/Lamed, Jupiter in Libra.

N Nun. The powers of growth and transformation represented by

Nun and Key 13. see 470. "The bent over form of the Nun, 'the

bent over faithful one,' indicates a sense of poverty and need to

receive. This bent over form is the most fundamental (simple)

"vessel" form amongst the letters of the alef-beit. In the form

of the letter Teth, we envision a vessel filled by (pregnat with)

"introverted" light, whereas Nun is a vessel alone." [The Alef-

Beit, Rabbi Ginsburgh] "If you, my son, wish to prepare this

precious stone, you need not put yourself to any great expense..

you must diligently observe what I do, and remember the worlds of

Aristole (Meteror 3 and 4) who says: "Study Nature, and careful

peruse the book concerning generation and corruption." [Hermetic

Museum I, p. 131]

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "This character as consonant, belongs to

the nasal sound; as symbolic image it represents the son of man,

every produced and particular being. As grammatical sign, it is

that of individual and produced existence. When it is placed at

the end of words it becomes the argumentative sign final Nun, and

gives to the being every extension of which it is individually

susceptible. The hebraist grammarians in placing this character

among the heemanthes, had certainly observed that it expressed,

at the beginning of words, passive action, folded within itself,

and when it appears at the end, unfoldment and augmentation..."

[The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.395]

ADMH adamah. red earth, soil, ground, land, territory.

Corresponds to Terra Adamica (#86). In Genesis 2:7 IHVH ALHIM

(The complete divine name of Binah) formed the essence of the

man

[ATh-HADM, #451], from the dust OPR Aphar (350) of the ground

[ADMH] Adamah. Adamah is the earth of Chesed, one of the 7 earths

in the diagram of the 4 seas. see 291, 14, 365, 105, 432, 337

H-ADM ha-adam. Metathesis of ADAM Adam. Generic humanity. The

Adam. Translated sometimes in Genesis 2 as "The Man" and

sometimes by the proper noun Adam. What is indicated is that the

Man and the "Ground " are identical in essence. [Genesis 2:25]

see 610.

IM yahm. the sea; ocean; lake; large basin, reservoir, large

river, west, western quarter. One of the many titles of Binah

when the Mother is considered to be the great reservoir of

substance from which forms are specialized. The "sea" is the

radiant darkness of limitless light, the ocean of root-matter

(Sanskrit: Mulaprakriti). The Mother (Binah) is the sea wherein

swims the fish (Nun), and the fish and the sea are one. The fish

and the son are also one (see 52).[Book of Tokens]

H-ZZAL ha-Zazel. The spirit of Saturn.

H-HM ha-hem. the abundance.

HMH haman. To ferment.

DG GDVL dag gedul. "great fish". Jonah 1:17. When the great fish

(Scorpio) swallowed the prophet Jonah (Dove, #71). the forces of

Mars and Venus are conjoined (see 121). Note also that Ninevah,

the capital of Assyria, where Jonah was sent, is spelled NINVH,

so that it combines the letters NVN Nun, and IH. [Book of Tokens,

p.131]

ChBLI khobli. pains and sorrows, throes of birth; suffering,

damage, injury. For which the great fish is an emblem. All pain

and sorrows are the portals through which man passes to the heart

of the Great Mother. see ChBL, 40. [Book of Tokens]

AThM ahtam. to close, to contract, to shut up. Indicates the

limiting activity of the specializing process (see 86, 158, 4,

14, 41, 72, 104).

LK le-khah. to thee. "To thee, O Israel, is the opening and

shutting of the Gates." [Book of Tokens]

MI mi. what? which? (see 64). After many questions the

realization of one s immorality is attained. Also where? and how?

Refers to the Gates of Understanding and to the square of the

Pythagorean triangle (see 236). Who?; whoever, someone, anyone.

In the prologue to the Zohar, MI is discussed in relation to the

initial process of creation and is linked to the no-thing. "MI...

is the living water, transmitting life." see 85.

MI may. water. Singular form of the word usually rendered Mem

[MIM] occurs only as a component of proper names in the Bible

(see 64). Used also as a euphemism for semen virile, the actual

substance which is secreted by organs under the rulership of

Scorpio.

AIZBL Izhebel, Jezebel. "chaste" [1 Kings 16:31]. Considered to

mean "without cohabitation", implying virginity; Furst, on the

other hand, considers that it is a contracted form of ABI-ZBL,

Abi-Zebel or "Father enthroned on high." Inman considers the name

to mean "Baal is strong", Baal being the deity considered

adulterous to Israel. [Ancient Faiths Embodied in Ancient Names].

To reach the "Father", one must practice virginity and practice

reverence to the one true God of Israel. see 63 (Greek)

IIL Ieiaiel. One of the 72 angels bearing the name of God. 58th

Shemhamphorash. see 81.

ILI Ieliel. 2nd Shemhamphorash. see 81.

33:22: Let your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, be upon us in

proportion to our waiting and hoping for You (Amplified).

For those ?involved? secret crimes, who fear to be discovered.

Against ??? pestilence, and the recovery from sickness. Person

born: Enjoy health, happy ???, esteemed by their acquaintenances,

frequent the ??? society. see 965, 1525. [parts of text

KL kole. all, whole, every. As the fish is hidden in the waters

of the sea, so is the ALL shut up within the semblance of the

many. Fabre D'Olivet comments: "KL this root expresses all ideas

of apprehension, shock, capacity, relative assimilation,

consummation, totalization, achievement, perfection.

The Arabic [word] develops in general, the same ideas of

complement, totalization, as the Hebrew; but leaving its source,

it inclines rather toward the totalization of evil than toward

that of good; so that in the Arabic idiom [Arabic word], it taken

figuratively, for excess of fatigue, height of misfortune,

extreme poverty, etc. The root being reinforced by the guttural

aspiration, offer in [Arabic word], a meaning absolutely contrary

to the primitive sense of accumulation, and designates the state

of that which diminishes which is lessened.

KL. That which is integral, entire, absolute, perfect, total,

universal: that which consumes, concludes, finishes, totalizes a

thing; that which renders it complete, perfect, accomplished;

which comprises, contains it, in determining its accomplishment;

the universality of things; their assimilation, aggeration,

perfection; the desire of possessing, possession; a prison: the

consumpion of foods, their assimilation with the substance of the

body, etc.

KL. action of totalizing, accomplishing comprising,

universalizing, consummating, etc." [Hebrew Tongue Restored pp.

372-373]

Latin

semen (Lt). seed. This designates the reproductive element in the

human organism. In alchemical writings, semen has the same

figurative meaning as in Virgil, who employed this word to

represent the 4 elements as the ground, origin, or cause of all

physical forms (see 64 Lt).

Radix (Lt). root. The part of the plant which draws in

nourishment. The plant is the human organism; the nourishment is

the Life-power (see 137 Lt).

Jeus. of Jesus. The seed of Jesus forms the root of the Christos.

Part of a saying in the Rosicrucian Fama. "A seed planted in the

breast of Jesus. see 310, 95, 66, 99 (Latin), Part of a second

saying, which includes the words "in Jesus we die", also in the

Fama. see 683 (Latin).

regio (Latin). A direction, line; a boundary; country, territory,

district, sphere, hence kingdom. see 496; 108 (Latin).

October 11, December 22, March 4. 8:20-8:40 PM [Psalm 119:159]

"Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O Lord, according

to thy loving-kindness" To gain wisdom. Rules philosophers, the

illuminati and those who wish to retire from the world. Person

born: Loves tranquility and solitude; fulfills exactly the duties

of his estate, and is distinguished by this modesty and his

virtues. see 965, 1520, 20. According to Godwin: Yehohel; Angel

of the 2nd quinance (6

) of Gemini; angel by night of the 8

of Swords. This represents the influence of Hod, Sphere of

Mercury, on Yetzirah, the formative world.

ADVM Edom. "red," Land south east of Palestine; Name given to

Israel (variant spelling, see 45, 342). [Isaiah 34:6] "The sword

of the Lord is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness,

and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the

kidneys of rams: for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a

great slaughter in the land of Idumea (Edom)." The kingdom of

Edom is connected with the unbalanced force. see 715. The three

letters ADM signify to stamp firmly, man , to be red . With

different vowel points there is something mystical about red as a

color." Genesis 25:30: "And Esau said to Jacob, fed me, I beg

you, with that same red pottage; for I am faint : Therefore was

his name called Edom." [Ancient Faiths, p. 409] see 611.

AN On. an Egyptian god (Gen 41:45). City of Heliopolis in Egypt,

or Beth-Shemesh, the House of the Sun (see 581, 1052, 120

(variant spelling), 57, 707, 701.

*** Fabre D'Olivet writes: "AN. An onomatopoetic root which

depicts the agonies of the soul, pain, sorrow, anhelation.

The Arabic [word] used as verb, signifies to sigh, to complain.

AVN. Every idea of pain, sorrow, trouble, calamity.

AN. the signs which this root are those of power and of

individual existence. The determine together the seity, sameness,

selfsameness, or the me of the being, and limit the extent of its

circumscription.

AN in a broader sense, it is the sphere of moral activity, in a

restricted sense, it is the body of the being. One says in

Hebrew, [ANI] I; as if one said my sameness, that which

constitutes the sum of my faculties, my circumscription.

"[[Hebrew Tongue Restored p. 295-296]

NA. Fabre D'Olivet writes: "NA. No. Every idea of youth, newness;

every idea of freshness, grace, beauty, every idea springing from

that which is formed of a new production, of a being young and

graceful.

The Arabic [word] although molding to the same primitive root as

the Hebrew, has developed, however, ideas apparently opposed;

This is the reason. That which is new, of recent birth, is

graceful, fresh, pleasing; but it is also frail, weak, unsteady.

Now the Hebraic idiom is attached to the first idea; the Arabic

idiom has followed and developed the second. Thence the verb

[Arabic word], which indicated the state of that which is frail,

feeble, impotent; the verb [Arabic word] expresses the action of

letting go, being separated, abandoning a thing, etc. What proves

the identity of the root is that the compound very [Arabic word]

signifies literally to nurse an infant." [Hebrew Tongue Restored

p. 395]

Okel, cont. Mathers gives: Ate, devoured, in [Sepher Sephiroth,

Lapis (Latin). stone. The mystical stone of the Philosophers (see

Zion. Refers to the adytum the aspirant builds within the brain

(see 216).

52 (4*13)

52 weeks in a year. The path of Gimel is 52 units long (joining

Kether to Tiphareth) and is the diameter of the Creative World of

Briah and a symbol of what determines the limits of creative

activity.

AIMA Aima. the Bright Supernal Mother, fertilized into

productivity by the influx of the life-force from Chokmah through

the path of Daleth. Title of Binah. The Empress, and the queens

of the minor trump (see 67). The "Mysterious Power" of which

Krishna declares: "My Maya is the great womb into which I cast

the seed: from this is the birth of all creatures."

ABA VAMA aba ve-ama. Father and Mother. Qabalists designate the

union of Wisdom (Aba) and Understanding (Ama).

BN Ben. "Son". Special designation of Tiphareth. Ben is the name

of the "secret nature" of Yetzirah, the formative world,

symbolized by the Magician's sword, and by the suit of swords.

The sword is Zain, it is a symbol for the Binah, because ZIN and

BINH are numerically equivalent. The central Ego of the Human

Race, is the Creature, the Begotten son, in perfect union with

the Father (53). The essential Man (Adam) is "begotten not made."

Humanity is of the same essence as Divinity. To experience

oneself as a "Son of God" we must be receptive to the influence

of the Christos (see 45, 80, 311, 1081).

"The central Sephirah is Beauty, called BN, the Son. Note that

this is 52, or a fourfold 13 [the number of unity and

love]."[Commentary 13th Communication 5/28/47]

Likewise is 52 AIMA, and IVD HH VV HH, or IHVH spelt in full,

with the names of the four letters, instead of the simple

[13th Communication]

"This [GN], in the ROTA, is the garden of the magician; and what

is the soil of the garden if be not identical with ABN, the

Stone? And thus do you see that the stone and the garden are

really AIMA, the mother, and behold! AIMA and BN are one in

numeration. This hath been said long ago by the companions, for

have they not written that in Binah, BINH, which herself is AIMA,

are conjoined the letters BN, and the sum of these is 14, the

ROTA number of the Father? Now, BN is, in the ROTA, 1 and 13, and

the sum of these is 14, the ROTA number of the intelligence of

Probation. For nothing can be known until it is tried, and in

union, the Holy Guardian Angel effects that union. Here men fail

to understand. COMMENT: all this hangs on the recognition of the

fact... that not the very least of any human being s personal

activities is anything but the work of what the ROTA pictures as

Key 14. Every circumstance of any man s life is a particular

dealing of God with his soul... The recognition that the Actor is

always superpersonal. For humanity of earth, the Actor is BN...

so it is the personal you that watches, yet what of reality has

that, apart from BN?" [Qabalistic Text 17th Communication

6/12/47] see 53, 124.

BHMH behemah. animal, beast. Applies to the larger quadrupeds.

Points to Binah as the source of the organic life of the various

forms of animal creation below the human level. From these lower

forms the human body has been evolved.

BKL be-kal. from all, among all, "in all things" (Gen. 24:1).

The Binah clause of The Pattern on the Trestleboard begins,

"Filled with Understanding.." Zohar says BK in BBK is the

designation of the "River of the Waters of which never fail."

IVD HH VV HH Letter name of IHVH spelt in full. The divine name

of the Father. see 26, 104.

ZMH zammah. thought, plan, purpose, imagination, meditation;

evil device; wickedness, idolatry, incest, shameful seed. In some

biblical passages this noun has a good sense and in others a bad

one. In itself it is neutral. "Bad" and "Good" have to do with

the objectives of planning and thinking. They cannot be applied

to the thought-force itself. This word is probably the same as

the first two words of the mysterious words mentioned by Jesus

[Pistis Sophia, Chap. 10] "Zamma Zamma Ozza Rachama Ozai."

Probably a transliteration of ZMH ZMH OZA RChMH OZIH, Thought,

thought, the power of the womb (or matrix) of the strength of

Yah." The "Strength of Jah" (OZIH) is the Life-force seated in

Chokmah. The womb of that power is Binah, the Great Mother. In

Binah, the Life-force is specialized as the though-force active

in Neshamah (see 395).

KLB caleb. Dog. Proper name of Caleb, companion of Joshua. Stands

for faithfulness (Joshua 14:6]. Also forcible [Deut. 1:36] KL

(50) is Kole, the All. LB (32) is Laib, the Heart. A sign of

understanding, connected also with Thoth (Dog-headed God) of

Egypt, the Mercury (Kokab) in Hod, and the 12th path of the

letter Beth. The self-conscious mind of man has always been the

herald of the Gods because it is the focal point or center for

the ALL. see 145, 197, 126 The little dog companion of the fool,

who is a reflexion of Jeheshua, or Christ (Joshua).

"Now it is written also in Joshua, that among the spies who went

forth into the land of Canaan, was Caleb, and that for his good

report when others had sought to dissuade Joshua from advancing,

the Lord, Blessed be He, rewarded Caleb with long life.

Now Caleb signifieth dog, and well ye know that this is no name

of good repute in Israel. Yet here is a treasure of wisdom that

is part of the lore that Moses was instructed in as a youth in

Egypt. For the story of Caleb is a figure, and Caleb the dog

standeth for faithfulness, but there are deeper things than this.

For reckon the number of KLB (52) and behold it is a veil for

AIMA, for KLB is 52. Now 52 ye know has the number of BN, but it

is the number also of ABVAIMA, Abve-aima, or Father and Mother.

That is, it representeth the conjoining of Chokmah, AB, with

Binah, Aima. What then is the Path of this conjunction of Father

and Mother? It is the Path of the Luminous Intelligence which

joineth Chokmah to Binah, the Path of the letter Daleth.

Now come and see again. The word KLB hath for its first two

letters K and L, and these spell Kal, the ALL. And the last two

letters are L and B, and these spell Laib, the Heart. Now K and

L are 50, and these are the gates of Binah, and L and B are 32,

and these are the Paths of Wisdom. Thus in Caleb is concealed

the secret of the ALL, which is likewise a Secret of the Heart.

And is not the heart of Adam Quadman, Tiphareth the Son, into

which pour all the streams of Mezla from above, and from which,

for as much as Tiphareth is the Path of Separate Emanations, or

mediating influence, and same Mezla descendeth to the Paths which

are below? So Caleb is a sign of understanding, for his name as

we have said, is of like number with AIMA.

But in Mizraim was their God Thoth represented as a dog-headed

man, and that some Thoth is Kokab also, whom the "oppressors"

called Mercurious, and among the Sons of the Doctrine it is known

that this same Kokab hath its sphere in Hod, and its own Path in

the letter Beth. Thus may ye understand that the Intelligence of

Transparency is figured by Caleb and with this is creation begun.

Of interest to students of our Rota, is the fact that Caleb means

dog, and since there is only one dog in the series of pictures

the dog in Key 0 is the only one shown in direct association with

man, as the pet and companion of the Fool. He is the letter Beth

that follows after Aleph, just as the dog follows the Fool. Now

Binah is at the lower end of the Path of Beth, and from what is

said about the word Caleb, it is evident that the reference to

Kokab or Mercury has also a bearing here."

Caleb, as you have just seen in the Bible, was the son of

Jephunnah, that is IPNH. Now these four letters are worth

noticing. The first is Yod, phallic, and also symbol of both

Chokmah and Yesod. The second is the letter of Mars; the third

the letter of Scorpio, and the last related to Aries and to

vision. Remember that Caleb was a spy, and that the Text plainly

refers to the perfection of his masculine vigor. Moreover the

number of his years is given as 85, which is the number of the

letter name PH, Peh, and this is divided into two parts; 40, his

age when he served as a spy, and this is a number of Mem; and 45,

which elapsed thereafter, which is a numeral symbol of ADM, Adam.

That is, the dog became a completed man, and this involves the

use and direction of the Mars force in accordance with a reversal

of ordinary procedure, for the other spies reported unfavorably

and caused the people's hearts to melt. But Caleb at 40 stands

for the reversal, symbolized by the Hanged Man.

This Caleb was not one of the Israelites, he was a Kennizite

adopted into Israel, an outsider by birth. But he received his

proper reward. The whole passage is an allegory relating to what

alchemists call the fixation of Mercury. That is, the highest

use of self-consciousness in a creative function, reversing

customary attitudes of mind and the activities they prompt, and

leading ultimately to the overthrow of error.[33rd Communication,

2/12/48]

KBL khebel. fetters [Psalm 105:18, 148:8] also chain, as anchor

chain, submarine cable. as a verb KBL, to chain and KBL, to

chain, tie. Creative imagination is the tie that binds, as well

as the fetters that chain.

ChMD khamad. something desirable; object of delight, take

pleasure in.

(NOTE: The Garden and Delight -- GN ODN:)

“The Stone is the Garden, and the Garden is the place of delight.

That is, ABN is GN, and GN is ODN, for the Stone is the union of

the son with the Father, and since ABN and GN are both 53, the

Stone is the Stone of Eden, as is the Garden. Now, Eden

signifieth delight, or pleasure, and its number, being 124, is a

fourfold 31. That is, AL multiplied by 4; and since 4 is Daleth,

this is the development of the power in Chesed to which AL

referreth. And thus is it seen that the power of Daleth, which is

the power of Nogah, is what multiplieth the strength of Chesed

into delight. For again we say, the stone and the Garden are one,

and as the Stone is the union of Chokmah and Tiphareth, so also is

the Garden the same union; and from union cometh delight. Never

is there delight in separateness. Only when Father and Son are

conjoined is there delight.

(N.B. There is here a double veil. For because BN and AIMA are

both 52, the conjunction of AB and BN implies the conjunction of

AB and AIMA. BN and AIMA are identical, but either AB and BN, or

AB and AIMA may be in the perfect union intimated by ABN. P.F.C.)

Now, of this conjunction is GN the sign, because G is the Uniting

Intelligence, and N is the Imaginative Intelligence. G uniteth

Kether to Tiphareth, and N uniteth Tiphareth to Netzach. G is the

Moon. N is Mars in Scorpio. Add these in our Rota and they make

15, which is the glyph of the Renewing Intelligence that linketh

Tiphareth to Hod.

Now see. In Rota, 15 is the Adversary, but his number is the

number of IH and the number also of HVD, and his path beareth the

number of Tetragrammaton, which is the special name of Tiphareth.

For he is the Life in Chokmah, and Adam, the King, in Tiphareth,

and he is also the Splendor of the Mercurial Work.

Thus, among the letters, that of the Renewing Intelligence

beginneth ODN, to be followed by the letter of the Luminous

Intelligence which linketh Chokmah to Binah, and "delight" (ODN)

is completed by the letter N, which is also the last letter of ABN

and of AIN; and thus is the special sign of the fifty gates of

Binah. Now, N linketh the Sphere of the Sun to the Sphere of

Venus, and thus in GN you may see the whirling motion of Kether

descending to the Sphere of the Sun, and projecting itself into

the Sphere of Venus.

This, in the Rota is the garden of the Magician; and what is the

soil of that garden if it be not identical with ABN, the Stone?

And thus do you see that the Stone and the Garden are really AIMA,

the Mother, and, behold! AIMA and BN are one in numeration.

This hath been said long ago by the Companions, for have they not

written that in Binah, BINH, which herself is AIMA, are conjoined

the letters BN, designating the Son, and IH, representing the

Father? Now, BN is, in the Rota, 1 and 13, and the sum of these

is 14, the Rota number of the Intelligence of Probation. For

nothing can be known until it is tried, and in union, the Holy

Guardian Angel effecteth that union. Here men fail to

understand.”

***NB Nob. A priestly city in Benjamin [#162]; [1 Samuel 21:1]

"David went to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest..." Fabre D'Olivet

writes: "NB. The mysterious root AVB being united by contraction

to the sign of produced existence; gives rise to a new root,

whence emanate all ideas of divine inspiration, theophany,

prophecy; and in consequence, that of exaltation, ecstacy,

rapture, perturbation, religious horror.

The Arabic [word] indicates in general, a shudder; exterior

movement cause by interior passion. As onomatopoeic and idiomatic

root [Arabic word] denotes the sudden cry of a man or animal

keenly roused. Literally, the bark, of a dog. Figuratively

[Arabic word] and [Arabic word] expresses the action of one who

announces the will of heaven, who prophecies." [Hebrew Tongue

gratia (Lt). agreeableness, esteem, favor, loveliness, grace.

This is the word used in the Latin version of the angel's words

to Mary (Luke 1:28), "Ave, gratia plena; Dominus tecum; benedicta

the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, and the sun

became black, as sackcloth of hair, and the entire moon became as

blood." In connection with the Lord s supper, in [Matthew 26:28]

"For this in my blood of the covenant, that which is poured out

for many, for forgiveness of sins Also [John 6:53-56] "Then Jesus

said to them, Indeed I assure you, if you do not eat the flesh

of the son of man, and drink his blood; you have no life in

yourselves. (54) He who eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has

??? life, and I will raise him up at the last day. (55) For my

flesh is the true food, and my blood is the true drink. (56) He

who eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, abides in me, and I in

him." Used in connection with the human body, man, with the idea

of fr?? and mortality, in [Matthew 16:17] "And Jesus answering,

said to him, Happy are thou, Simon, son of Jonah; for flesh and

blood has not revealed this to thee, but that father of man in

the heaven. ". As blood-relationship, kindred, written [Greek

vertical line and hypotenuse of a Pythagorean triangle. Therefore

the number 53 defines the union of the Son, Horus, with the

Father, Osiris.

H-GDVLH Ha Gedulah. The Majesty, the magnificence. Alternate

name of Chesed prefixed by a definite article. 1 Chronicles 29:11

translates it as "Greatness," and includes the names of Geburah,

Tiphareth, Netzach and Hod. It is one of the oldest references to

the Tree of Life. see 360 ("His Great Fire"), 48. [In Chronicles

29:11 the Vav is omitted, giving a short spelling of the word or

47]. see 1389.

ChMH Khammaw. Sun (poetical). The "secret fire" of the

alchemist, the radiant energy of the Sun. Figuratively poison due

to its inflaming effect. Also alchemical Gold, whose center is

Tiphareth, the heart center. It is the "secret fire of alchemy,

the radiant energy of the sun and the quintessence, the substance

of all things. see 640. Literally heat, also fever; rage; to be

hot, to glow, excitement through wine [Hosea 7:5]. Hence wine is

Garden of Tetragrammaton [GN IHVH]. Ezekiel 28:13: Garden of

Elohim (ALHIM).

BTChV BIHVI Biteku Ba-Tetragrammaton. "Trust ye in the Lord."

Isaiah 26:4. The only way to return to the Garden of Eden and sit

upon the "Stone", of Majesty.

ABN ehben. "stone," rock, a weight. From a root meaning: to

build. Conjunction of Father and Son. The state of conscious

identification of the EGO with the cosmic, or universal SELF.

Also known as the Philosopher's stone, the "third eye," the

Sanctum sanctorum (Holy of Holies) or pineal gland. The organ of

true spiritual vision which enables one to See beyond the limits

of the physical plane, and perceive man's perfect union with his

divine source. Mundinus and Medales identify the secret fire of

alchemy with the stone, ABN and with the quintessence (spirit).

The alchemical Fire is the radiant energy of the sun. see 73,

444, 54 (Latin). also ABN (oven), fossil [Hebrew Lexicon]. see

532.

"The stone is the garden, and the garden is the place of delight.

That is, ABN is GN, and GN is ODN, for the stone is the union of

the Son with the Father, and since ABN and GN are both 53, the

stone is the stone of Eden, as is the garden... the stone and the

garden are one, and as the stone is the union of Chokmah and

Tiphareth, so also is the garden that same union; and from union

cometh delight. Never is there delight in separateness. Only when

Father and Son are conjoined is there delight. (N.B. There is

here a double veil. For because BN and AIMA are both 52, the

conjunction of AB and BN implies the conjunction of AB and AIMA.

BN and AIMA are identical, but either AB and BN, or AB and AIMA

may be in the perfect union intimated by ABN. P.F.C.) Now of this

conjunction is GN the sign, because G is the Uniting

Intelligence, and N is the Imaginative Intelligence. G unites

Kether to Tiphareth, and N unites Tiphareth to Netzach. G is the

Moon. N is Mars in Scorpio. Add these in our ROTA and they make

15, which is the glyph of the Renewing Intelligence that linketh

Tiphareth to Hod... Now, N links the sphere of the Sun to the

sphere of Venus, and thus in GN you may see the whirling motion

of Kether, descending to the sphere of the Sun, and projecting

itself into the sphere of Venus. This, in the ROTA, is the Garden

of the Magician; and what is the soil of that garden if not be

identical with ABN, the stone? And thus do you see that the stone

and the garden are really AIMA, the mother, and behold! AIMA and

BN are one in numeration." [Qabalistic text-17th communication

6/12/47] see 52, 124.

In the Rosicrucian allegory this is the stone which is discovered

fastened to the nail (Vav) which is fastened to the memorial

table. The stone is removed because it sticks to the nail, and

this means that intuition follows right recollection. Right

recollection enables us to discover the truth about ourselves,

which truth is the stone, ehben. [Paul Case: True and Invisible

Rosicrucian Order (4th), p. 179]

In the Book of Lambspring: "The Son ever remains in the Father,

and the Father in the Son. Thus in divers things they produce

untold precious fruit. They perish ???? and laugh at death. By

the grace of God they abide forever, the Father and the Son,

triumphing gloriously in the splendor of their new kingdom. Upon

the throne they sit, and the face of the ancient master is

straightway seen between them: he is arrayed in a crimson robe."

[Hermetic Museum I, p. 304]. Case: "Note that the completion of

the work is the union of Father and Son, viz, the Stone, ABN."

According to Inman: "ABN signifies a rock or stone. Amongst the

ancients generally and amongst the Hebrews themselves an upright

stone indicated the creator; of a ??? at Cyprus, the celebrated

??? Venus, was a ??? stone. [Ancient Faith, p. 468.]

ABIM Ayiyawm. Father of the sea. personal noun. Spirit-fire

an organic substance which absorbs personal emanations of the

astral light.

Acacia (Greek spelling). Innocence; without guile, harmlessness.

Wood used to build the Temple of Solomon. Symbol of immorality

spring of Acacia... presents itself as a symbol of the immorality

of the soul being intended to remind... by its evergreen and

unchanging nature of that better and spiritual part within us,

which as an emanation from the Grand Architect of the Universe,

can never die. And as this is the most ordinary, the most

generally accepted signification, so also is it the most

important... Secondly, then the Acacia [Akakia] is a symbol of

innocence. The symbolism here is of a peculiar and unusual

character, depending not on any real analogy in the form or use

of the symbol to the idea symbolized, but simply on a double or

compound meaning of the word. For [Greek word], in the Greek

language signifies both the plant in question and the moral

quality of innocence or purity of life. In this sense the

symbolism refers, primally, to him over whose solitary ?grave?

the Acacia was planted [i.e. Hiram Abiff], and whose virtuous

conduct, whole integrity of life and purity of life and fidelity

to his truths have ever been presented as patterns to the

craft..." [p.8]

"That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up

upon a heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan

(ORThN, #740): and those that came down toward the sea of the

plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the

of fragrance, City of Palm trees ). see Key 20, Judgement for the

blast of the trumpet and the sea.

DMI demiy. ceasing, still; cutting off, standing still. From the

verb DMH (see 49). In silence the personality ceases and man

becomes the "image and likeness" of God. Also DMI dahmi, quite,

the noun DM dam (or dawn), blood. These meanings are shown in Key

13 plainly enough. see 44. demiy "rest' "and give you no rest,

concealments (Kether). see 493.

33:12]. "And of Benjamin He [Moses] said; the beloved of the Lord

shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him all

the day long, and he dwelleth between his shoulders." Note that

Benjamin = Sagittarius = alchemical incineration = Key 14. The

putrefaction, the 8th stage of the Great Work. Purification is

the process becomes automatic (see 95, 30, 570, 501, 331, 7). The

standard of the tribe was a coiled serpent.

***Fabre D'Olivet comments: "DN. The sign of sympathetic

divisibility united to the root AN, symbol of the circumscritive

activity of being, constitutes a root whose purpose is to

characterize, in a physical sense, every king of chemical parting

in elementary nature; [note: Daleth = Venus, Nun = Mars] and to

express, in a moral sense, every contradictory judgement, resting

upon litigious things.

The Arabic [word] offers the same sense in general. In Particular

[Arabic word] expreses a mucous excretion. One understands my

[Arabic word], the action of judging." [Hebrew Tongue Restored p.

324]

55 (5*11) 10 = 55

Kaph represents comprehension, Lamed symbolizes Justice and is

related to action. Heh is the foresight which gives authority and

over Gehinnom is called Duma, and these are tens of thousands of

angels of destruction under him. He stands at its door, but those

who have carefully guarded the sign of the holy covenant he has

no power to touch... Duma returned then crest fallen to his

place. It is in regard to this that David said: Unless the Lord

had been my help, but a little would been wanting that my soul

had dwelt in Duma (silence). [Psalm 94:17]. That is, if the Lord

had not been my advocate, it wanted but little, etc. Only by

the hair breadth which is between me and the sinister power did

my soul escape from the clutches of Duma. A man should therefore

be on his guard not to let slip and incautious word like David,

since we will not be able to plead with Duma, that it was an

error [Ecclesiastes 5:5], Like David, who was vindicated by the

Holy One, blessed be His name; wherefore should God be angry at

thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands? [IBID], i.e. the

flesh of the holy covenant which the man has defiled and which,

as a punishment, is stretched in Gehinnom at the hands of Duma."

see HVM (#51).

Ageleia (Gr). Title of Athena. "She who carries off the spoils,"

said by occult tradition to have been used by Pythagoreans, in

reference to the number 7. (She who drives of the Spoils.") 7 and

Lethe (Gr). river of oblivion (in underworld). In Malkuth natural

man has forgotten his true identity.

Aquila (Lt). Eagle. The bird of aspiration and vision. Connected

with Scorpio and the Mars force. In the Confessio Fraternitatis,

it is said of the brethren "no longer are we beheld by human

eyes, unless they have received strength borrowed from the

Eagle." Paul Case: "Eagle = Aquila = Scorpio. "Strength" is Key 8

in the Tarot. Also it may be noted that the Eagle = Shekinah and

"Shekinah ex parte throni ??? aquila" [The divine presence from

the part of the throne (i.e. Binah) is called the eagle] and also

"similtudo homis" [The likeness of man]. K.D. [Kabala Denudath,

or the Kabalah Unveiled], (Sulzback ed. 1667). see also

[K.D.L.C.K. p. 600] (Where it relates the eagle to Malkuth; and

Malkuth when it is raised unto Tiphareth [as in Proverbs 30:19)

"The way of an eagle in the air." Binah moreover is called the

princes."

the physical plane, the sphere of embodied action recorded by the

senses (see 89).

renes (Latin). Reins, i.e. the kidneys, associated with balance

and Libra. In later Hebrew ?K[or B]LIVTh? (kidneys) sometimes

means the testicles; when very little was known of anatomy it was

supposed that both urine and semen were secreted by the kidneys.

thus the word (in Hebrew) refers, physically, the primary sources

of bodily power and vigor. Furthermore, the Hebrews shared the

belief of all the ancient world, that the loins and reins were

the seat of the lower mind, called [Greek word] in Greek. It is

from the Greek noun that the Latin renes, signifying kidneys, was

derived, and renes passed into English as reins. [ML 40:10]

The length of the 7 vertical lines bounding the vault of brother

CR. The crest on the observe on the Great Seal of the U.S.

IVM yom. day, light of day, time, season. In Genesis 1:5 gives

as God's own name for light, the (Qabalistic symbol of the

Manifest (see 69), as contrasted with darkness, to which the name

Night is given, as representing the Unmanifest. With different

vowel points, Yoom: to be warm, or bright.

Gaskell suggest that days are "symbolic of periods of

manifestation-cycles of involution and evolution. The six days

of Genesis are all periods of involution, not evolution... The

light is the consciousness, the spirit-side of being, whilst the

darkness is the material, the form-side of nature. Evening

and morning are symbolic of the indrawing and the outgoing

forces, constituting the first Life-wave." [Dictionary of all

Scriptures and Myths, p.202]

AIMH aimay. dread, terror, fear.

ANH anah. He suffered; to sigh, lament, to mourn, to wrong (see

part of the Mark Mason s degree, the candidate takes in each hand

a small block of white marble about 4 inches square and six

inches long, weighing about 11 pounds each. Paul case has this

note: "Boundary lines = 24(4x6) + 32(8x4) = 56" = 7x8 = to

measure = KVL. Note that the weight of the 2 stones = 22. 22 is

the circumference of a circle or cycle of manifestation. see 96,

600 (MLAKH) (ShSh).

NAH neah, noah. beautiful, comely, becoming, befitting, lovely.

NAH nawawh. dwelling, habitations, pasture, meadow (23rd Psalm:

"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures"); to be lonely, be

befitted.

NAH naah. to adorn oneself; also: to beatify, decorate. The

result of the light which shines into darkness.

HVHM Hoham. "God of the Multitude." King of Hebron (Amorite

King) [Joshua 10:3] "Wherefore Adonai Zedec King of Jerusalem

sent unto Hoham King of Hebron..." Represents the false notion of

deity held by the masses of ignorant persons. Also a symbol of

the exclusiveness and of the inequalities of classes which derive

directly from the false notion of God. For he King of Hebron,

that is, King of the Court, so and of hereditary aristocracy. see

ABIGAL Awbeigail. Abigail, "Father is Rejoicing"; "Father of

Joy", "Source of Joy." [1 Samuel 25:3] variant spelling, see 46,

82.

NV Nu. An Egyptian Goddess, Hebrew transliteration. As a Hebrew

root, Fabre D'Olivet notes: NV. Nou. the convertible sign Vav,

image of the bond which unites being and nothingness, which

communicates from one nature to another, being joined to that of

produced existence, produces a root whose sense, entirely vague

and indeterminate is fixed only by means of the terminative sign

by which it is accomplished.

The Arabic [word] is an onomatopoetic and idomatic root which

depicts the aversion that one experiences in doing a thing, the

disgust that it inspires. As verb, it is the action of being

repugnnant, of refusing, of being unwilling. [The Hebrew Tongue

Restored, p. 398]

KBVD IHVH Kebode Jehovah. "The Glory of IHVH." [Exodus 16:10]

times and seasons (see 291). "You will never discover anything

unless you first enter my workshop, where, in the inmost bowels

of the earth I ceaseless forge metals: There you may find the

substance which I use, and discover the method of my work."

[Hermetic Museum I, p. 122]. Paul Case links earth in this

sentence to Virgo. see 570 Virgo = alchemical distillation.

"Therefore, beloved brother, let me warn you to have nothing to

do with subliminations of sulphur and mercury, or the solution of

bodies or the coagulation of spirits, or with all the innumerable

alembics, which bear little profit unto veritable art. So long as

you do not seek the true essence of nature, your labors will be

doomed to failure; therefore, if you desire success, you must

once for all renounce your allegiance to all those old methods,

and enlist under the standards of that method which proceeds

instruct obedience to the teaching of nature-in short, the method

which nature herself pursues in the bowels of the earth" [Case:

Virgo] [Hermetic Museum I, p. 152-153] see 496.

"The sages have written about may waters, stones and metals, for

the purpose of deceiving you. You that desire a knowledge of our

art, relinquishing Sun, Moon, Saturn and Venus for our ore (#23

Latin) and our earth, and why so? Every thing is of the nature of

No thing." [Hermetic Museum I. p. 204]

"The stone is mystic, or secret, because it is found in a secret

place, in an universally despised substance where no one looks

for the greatest treasure of the world." [IBID, p. 226] (Case:

viz, in Virgo, where it is felt, but not seen.)

gloria (Lt). glory. The Light of God which shines on all things

turba (Latin). tumult, uproar, disturbance, commotion, especially

treatise with the Turba Philosophours. Jacob Boehme writes: "And

it is highly recognizable by us how the imagination of the

eternal nature has the turba in the craving, in the mystery, but

not awakenable, unless the creature, as the mirror of eternity,

doth itself awaken this, viz. the fierce wrath, which is eternity

is hidden in mystery." [Mysterium Pansolphicum, V, p. 161]

metalla. metal. One of seven interior centers, also known as

planets, stars and chakras; a vortice of Life-force connected

ABDN abdan, ahbaydawn. Abbadon; destruction, ruin, perdition

[Esther 8:6]. "For how can I endure to see the evil that shall

come unto my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction

of my kindred?" (Note the combination of AB, the father and DN,

Dan, Judgement in this word. (Thus "Father of Judgement") One of

the 7 infernal mansions depicted on the diagram of the 4 seas

(see 337, 911, 99, 1026, 566, 108, 291; 54, 3; 64, 707).

AVN own. ability, strength, power, manly vigor [Genesis 49:3].

succeeds, in Awven, it comes to nothingness, vanity. wickedness,

affliction, pain [Psalm 90:10].

AVN avan. to breath, to effect by work, to take pains [Hosea

12:9]. Note the connection between breathing and working.

AVN. On. a city in lower Egypt called by the Greeks Heliopolis

(City of the Sun). [Genesis 41:50, Jeremiah. 43:13] Heliopolis is

the sun of the Bible, "and the meaning is that it was the sun

of art that caused the resurrection of the lifeless bird from

dead ashes" [D.D. Bryant: The Art of Alchemy, IX, p. 8] "It was

to a daughter of the priest of On that Joseph (multiplier) was

married. Her name was Asenaith.. She was the daughter of

Potipheria... "[Paul Case note, OP, cit.]

Fabre D'Olivet writes: "AN. an onomatopoeic root which depicts

the agonies of the soul; pain, sorrow, anhelation.

The Arabic [word] used as verb, signifies to sigh, to complain.

AVN Every idea of pain, sorrow, trouble, calamity.

AN The signs which compose the root, are those of power and of

individual existence. They determine together the seity,

sameness, selfsameness, or the me of the being, and limit the

exitent of its circumscription.

AN. In a brother sense, it is the sphere of moral activity; in a

restricted sense, it is the body of the being. One says in

Hebrew, [ANI] I; as if one said my sameness, that which

constitutes the sum of my faculties, my circumscription. [Hebrew

Tongue Restored p. 296]

ANV Anov. the pronoun "we." Suggest that by eliminating the

DGIM dawgin. fishes; sign of Pisces, the 12th sign of the

Zodiac, attributed to the Letter Qoph, the Corporeal or body-

building intelligence. All the above words [ABDN, AIVM, BNH,

KLVA] apply in various ways to incarnation. The physical body is

continually perishing, yet it is while we are incarnate that it

is that which is the means to all wealth and power. It is the

basis of all effort, yet if it be separated from the directing

spirit it is nothingness and vanity. It is the cause of all our

terrors, when we misuse it or misinterpret it. (see 259, 389,

186).

DGN dawgawn. corn, grain. [Genesis 27:28] "Therefore God give

thee of the dew of Heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and

plenty of corn and wine." see 707.

KLVA kelva. a prison [Jeremiah 37:4] "Now Jeremiah came in and

up the head of Jehoiachin, King of Judah (alchemical digestion),

and brought him forth out of prison" (Jehoiakim = Jehovah raises

up") see 3, 12, 21, 30, 39, 48, 66.

MZBCh mazbech. altar, derived from ZBCh, to slaughter, to

sacrifice. The altar represents truth and conformity to the

cosmic order. What is sacrificed or destroyed is the sense of

significance. [Exodus 29:20] "then thou shalt kill the ram, and

take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of

his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the

great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the

altar round about." see 707. The reference is to the consecrating

of priests.

ZN zahn. species, kind; "sort" in [Psalm 144:13] "Our barns will

be filled with every kind of provisions. Our sheep will increase

by the thousands, by tens of thousands in our fields.

Fabre D'Olivet writes on the root: "ZN. The demonstrative sign

united to the root AN, symbol of the moral or physical

circumscription of the being, constitutes a root which develops

two distinct meanings according as they are considered as mind or

matter. From the view point of mind, it is a moral manifestation

which makes the faculties of the being understood and determines

the kind, for that of matter, it is a physical manifestation

which delivers the body and abandons it to pleasure. Thence:

ZN Every classification by sort and by kind according to the

faculties: every pleasure of the body for its nourishment:

figuratively, all lewdness, fornication, debauchery: a

prostitute, a place of prostitution, etc.

The Arabic [word] empresses a sort of suspension of opinion in

things of divers natures. As an onomatopoetic root [Arabic word],

describes a murmuring.

metaphorically the action of enjoying, making abuse, prostituting

one s self." [Hebrew Tongue Restored p. 343] see 707

and, behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud."

ThLIHD talihad. ruler of water. i.e. the alchemical Water or

DAGN Dagan. Night demon of 1st decanate of Sagittarius. DA means

"this"; GN means "garden:.(i.e. the garden of subconsciousness).

ChN khane. love, kindness, grace, precious. Notariqon for,

NGH Nogah. the sphere of Venus, Netzach; shining, brightness,

morning star. Variant spelling (see 64).

KLCh Kalah. Calah, "perfection", also "a trunk or pillar"; also

KLCh "He is firm", or "pining with desire". This name was borne

by an Assyrian City (according to Inman), and it may have been

derived from a word like KLH Calah, "adorned", crowned , a

bride , equivalent to the virgin , or Ishtar; if so, we may

compare it to [Greek word], Kalee, beautiful ." Genesis 10:11

"out of that Land [Shinar] went forth Asshur, and built Ninevah,

and the City Rehoboth, and Calah." [Ancient Faiths, p. 382] But

Fabre D'Olivet suggest that Calah means the growing wise, old

men ruling within": "The word KLCh, which signifies literally, an

ancient, an old man, that is to say, a man whom age and

experience have led to perfection. Thence by extension, the idea

of a senate, of an assembly of old men, of a wise and

conservative institution." [Hebrew Tongue Restored p. 284] see

55.

NCh noah. rest, cessation. pleasing, kind. Ark builder. marks a

period of parlaya, or rest in cycles of cosmic manifestation (see

936).

This name appears in [Genesis 5:29] "And he called his name Noah,

saying He shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our

hands: because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed"

1. Fabre D'Olivet renders this verse: "And he called his name

Noah (repose of elementary nature), saying, this shall rest us

(our existence) and lighten our labor, and the physical obstacles

of our hands, because of the Adamic element which IHVH has

?called?." He comments: "NH. Noah... or Noe. as it has been

vulgarly written following the orthography of the Hellenist

translators. The root from which this important name comes, is

composed of the sign of produced being Nun, image of reflected

existence, and the sign of the effort of nature Cheth, which

gives birth to vital equilbrium, to existence. this root offers

the idea of that perfect repose, which, for a thing long agitated

in opposed directions, results in that state of equilibrium where

it dwells immobile.

Nearly all the tongues of the orient understands this mysterious

expression. The Hebrew and the Chaldaic draw from it two verbs.

By the first NHVH, one understands, to lead to the end, to guide

toward the place of repose; by the second, NVA, to repose, to

rest tranquil, to be in a state of peace, of calm, of perfect

bliss. It is from the latter, tht the name of the cosmogonic

personage who saw the end of the world and its renewal, is

derived. It is the emblem of the repose of elementary existence,

the sleep of nature." [Hebrew Tongue Restored p. pp. 167-168]

2. The Zohar [I:58A-B] comments: "And he called his name Noah

saying, this shall comfort us etc. How did Noah s father know

this? In this way, when God cursed the earth, Adam said to him,

sovereign of the Universe, how long shall the earth be subject to

this curse? God replied: Until a descendant of yours shall be

born ???, like yourself. So that waited until at last a child

was born circumcised and marked with the holy sign. When his

father saw this, and observed the Shekinah hovering over him, he

called him Noah [literally rest], in anticipation of his future

career. For up to his time men did not know the proper way to sow

or reap or plough, and they used to work the ground with their

hands. But when Noah came, he taught the arts of husbandry, and

devised for them the necessary implements. Hence it is written:

The one shall comfort us for our work and for the toil of our

hands. It was indeed Noah who liberated the earth from its

curse; for up to his time they used to sow wheat and reap thorns

and thistles; here Noah is called "A man of the ground." [AISh

HADMH = 366] (Genesis 9:20). Rabbi Judah said "The word AISh

(Man-311) is applied to him because he was righteous, and through

the sacrifice which he brought, he liberated the earth from its

curse ... When Noah was born, the gave him a name which connoted

???, in the hope that it would work out its own fulfillment for

them. His relation to God, however, is expressed by the same

letters in the reverse order, viz. ChN (favor), as it is written,

??? Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord ; whereas the

anagram of the name offer the (wicked) son of Judah is RO ra

(evil), and of him it is written And er was evil in the sight of

the Lord [Genesis 38:17]. When Noah grew up, he saw how mankind

were sinning before God, he withdrew himself form their society

and sought to serve is master, so as not to be led astray by

them. He was especially diligent in the study of the Book of Adam

and the Book of Enoch... and from them he learnt the proper forms

in which to worship God. This explains how he knew it was

incumbent upon him to bring an offering; it was these book which

revealed to him the basis on which the existence of the world

depends, to wit, the sacrifices, without which neither the higher

nor the lower world can endure." (pp. 187-189)

3. Gaskell suggest that Noah is "A symbol of the individuality,

or the manifested self in evolution-the permanent center of

evolution in the soul. It is the Buddhi-manasic principle, or the

incarnation of the self as applying to the three lower planes...

The Noah principle... is perfection of the soul according to

its sage of development. The knowledge it possessed is derived

from within (walked with God)." [Dictionary of all Scriptures and

Myths, p. 538]

4. A. Jokej writes: "Noah is the divinely appointed figure, in

whom the whole cause of regeneration is set forth, every secret

of this great mystery being here drawn for us as God alone could

draw it.. Noah, then, is the spiritual mind, for he is only the

continuation of Seth s line, and figures the form of life which

the spiritual mind takes as this stage in its development, when

it has come so far as to know the judgement of the old creation,

and the way through that Judgement to a cleansed and better

world." [Types of Genesis, pp. 104-105] Rosenroth, in [K.D.L.C.K.

p. 69] says this word is equivalent in number to AVN. [quote ends

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "ChVILH. Hawilah... Here the root ChVL,

ChL or ChVL, is related to the idea of effort, of tension, or

305.

GVIM gavim. foreigner, heathen; nations.

"In the Name of Adonai shall all the Nations be blessed. We begin

with this, because in the Hebrew 'Nations' is 'Goyim' and refers

to the Gentiles. The 'Nations' esoterically are the millions and

millions of cells not directly concerned with the controlling the

functions of the body, as are the more highly specialized cells

known as the 12 tribes, for the constitution of the human body is

the pattern for the proper constitution of the human society.

Just as the gross mechanics of the body furnishes the pattern for

all machines based on the laws of mechanics, while the subtler

structure of the same body provides the patterns for those

inventions which utilize the power of electricity." [Commentary

of the 20th Communication 6/23/47]. see 65, 671, 100, 739, 259.

3, #71, 73 (Latin). "In India there is a most pleasant wood, in

which two birds are bound together. One is of a snowy white; the

other is red. They bite each other, and one is slain and devoured

by the other. Then both are changed into white doves, and of the

dove is born a phoenix, which has left behind blackness and foul

death and has regained a more glorious life. This power was given

it by god himself, that it might live eternally, and never die:

it gives us wealth, it preserves our life, and with it we may

work great miracles, as also the true philosophers do plainly

inform us." The Book of Lambspring in [Hermetic Museum I, 290]

Case: Columbia = 59 = clavis. see 81 (Latin).

60 (5*3*4)

Carringron, in The Number Key calls 60 "differential and human

order , completeness of character". And the "actualizing of

maturity."

S Samekh. Once the letter Samekh was interchangeable with the

final form of the letter Mem, but after mankind left the Garden

of Eden, he mistook temporary shelter for the final letter of the

abode of perfection (Mem?). Because of his error, the arm of the

tent peg was bent. [Codex Obligitas, XIV:60]

Paul Case observes: "The Chaldean character is similar to final

Mem. this similarity is more evident in the usual printed

character than in the written one. The written character is

plainly a modifications of the circle, and by some authorities is

supposed to represent the serpent swallowing its own tail. Thus

it is related to the serpent girdle of the Mahican, and is also

connected with the letters Teth and Lamed, both of which refer to

the serpent-power. The serpent swallowing its own tail also

symbolizes the completion of a cycle of manifestation, and thus

the letter Samekh and the Key corresponding to it may be taken as

representing the end of a series of manifestations. The series in

question is that which begins with the letter Teth and Key *.

[Tarot Practice Course]

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "This character as consonant, belongs to

the sibilant sound, and is applied as onomatopoeia to depicting

all sibilant noises... have conceived this letter S, as the

symbol of the consonantal principle, in the same manner that they

conceived the letter Heh, or the aspiration H, as that of the

vocal principle. This character is, in Hebrew, the image of the

bow whose cord hisses in the hands of man. As grammatical sign,

it is that of circular movement in that which is related to the

circumferential limit of any sphere.

BChN bawkheen, bahkhan. " tried by fire" "to try or to test;

examine, proved", having special reference to the testing of

metals by fire. As a noun BChN means "watch-tower", and with

other points "trial, examination proof. see 186

BChN bokhan. "tried (stone)" [Isaiah 28:16], testing,

examination and BChN to inquire. Note: this is not the same word

translated "temptation or trial" in the special title of the path

of Samekh. The sign Sagittarius, attribute to Samekh, belongs to

the fiery triplicity. [Book of Tokens, Samekh] see #60. (variant

spelling)

B-ChN be-khane, be-khen. In grace, by grace, by favor. By

taking the B as a preposition "in", then it will be translated

"Grace". It is by Grace that the Metals are tested in Key 14.

Khane (ChN) is an abbreviation (notariqon) for Chokmah Nesethrah

(ChKMH NSThRH) the secret wisdom i.e. the Qabalah. The mystical

trial by fire has to do with initiation into the Qabalah. See

#58. It is by "grace", the "Grace of God" that the "metal" is

tested-Key 14. The basic idea is testing by rubbing metals on a

Touchstone. See 186.

GAVN gawawn. sublimity, glory. Trial by fire makes visible "the

Glory of the Heavenly Sun," or "the Gold of thy Beauty." [Book of

Tokens, Mem]. Also rising, swelling (as the waves in water, or

hills on land); highness, excellence, majesty, grandeur, glory,

exaltation. These meanings are related to the mountain symbolism

in Key 14. Because there is danger that attainment may lead to

personal pride, this word signifies also the pride which goes

before a fall, and this points toward the kind of test whereby,

as the comment of the path of Samekh says, "The Lord God test the

devout." Until the dross of egotism is purged out, the "Metal"

will not meet the trial of friction (rubbing) upon the touchstone

of daily contact with others and environmental conditions.

MChVH makahazeh. vision, apparition; drama. "The vision of thy

Lord [shall] be granted onto thee [Book of Tokens, Samekh] see

310, 120, 536. Also theatrical performance, play; MChVH window,

aperture; vista. [A medieval word with the meaning of "vision,

apparition" is MChZ].

LKI keliy. Anything completed, prepared or made. Specifically,

vase or vessel. Refers to the secret vessels of alchemy, as

symbolized by the vase in Key 14. It contains the "fiery, three-

fold water" with which the great work is accomplished. See 800,

100. Something prepared. Thus, any apparatus or instrument. A

ship, just as we speak of a ship as a "vessel". Even dress (of

men), and trappings (of animals) are sometimes designated by KLI.

Also arms and weapons. In short, almost all variations of the

idea of a prepared instrument. Also, article, object, thing;

utensil; garment; jewel; ornament; implement, tool; weapon,

armor. Also attributes by Godwin to the 18th Shemhamphorash,

short form, associated with the 6th quinance (26

-30

) of Libra.

see 91, 1525.

HLKH halahkah. Traditional law. Not to be confused with the

Paradosis (#666) condemned by Jesus. It is the secret oral

tradition. So Qabalists interpret the word. Exoteric Judaism

means no more by it than the legalistic "traditions of men"

collected in the Talmud. Practice, adopted opinion, Rule;

tradition (opposed to Aggadah).

HNH hinnay. behold! "The glory of the Heavenly son shall all men

behold." [Book of Tokens] With different vowel points: to give

pleasure or benefit, to please.

ThNA teneh. basket (metaphor for prosperity).

HVA ChIID Hia hayyekaw. "She is thy Life." [Proverbs 4:13] "Take

fast hold of instruction, let her not go; keep her, for she is

thy life." see 540, 12, 18.

GIHBM gihebem. Silence; according to Godwin: the seventh and

lowest hell, corresponding to the three Supernal Sephiroth. see

620.

NI ni. lament, wailing [Ezekiel 27:32] "And in their wailing

they sall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee,

saying, What city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst

of th sea?"

Fabre D'Olivet comments: Root analogous to the roots NA (youth,

newness), NH (young fresh) and NV (aversion, disgust), and the

Arabic [word] indicates the state of that which is raw. [Hebrew

Tongue Restored p. 400]

nitre (Lt). alchemical term as a stage of salt.

Fideus. of faith, faithful. Part of phrase. see 146.

61 (prime) [5*5 + 6*6]

AIN en or ain. Naughtness, nothing. 1st veil of the absolute. The

primal darkness before manifestation. The latent state of cosmic

night, containing potencies of the supernal triad. Aleph: pure

Spirit or creative power, Unity; Yod: the Formative power of

Spirit - The word related to Chokmah; Nun: the reproductive

potency of the Cosmic Mother. the absolute as a living mind, the

root-source of all substance and energy, protecting, guarding and

teaching its manifestations (see 31, 538, 48, 711).

ADIN Adon. master, lord, possessor (Psalm 97:5). Root of the

divine name Adonai, Lord. However negative may be our ideas of

the No-thing (AIN) it is the master power, containing all other

potencies with itself. The ancient Semitic root appears in the

Greek Adonis, the name of the God the Greek borrowed from the

Babylonian and Phoenician Mysteries of Tammuz. see 65, 207, 1065

AMK ammeka. thy mother (Exodus 20:12). The commandment, "Honor

thy mother," is that the human, earthly mother is a symbol and

visible representation of the protective, nourishing power of

Ain. For all that is the perfection of feminine and masculine

potencies must be ascribed to the No-Thing.

"Yet is she also AMK, Ameka, thy Mother, and her heart swelleth

with love. For behold AMK: is it not 61, and this is BTN, the

dark womb of creation? And again, it is AIN, the Boundless, for

there are no limits to the overflowing love, springing like a

fountain of Living Waters from the heart of the Mother.

Comment: Binah is identified with Ameka, thy Mother, and

immediately this is indicated as being the same as the first veil

of AIN, and as the vast expanse of the dark nothingness which is

the womb of creation. Yet the Text is all the while dealing also

with Saturn, and with the Path of Tav, and so with the idea of

the eternal equilibrium or perfect rest at the center. Moreover,

that rest is by clear implication identified with the Waters of

Life...in Key 21, if you look intently, you may see delineated in

plain sight representation of the idea expressed in Hebrew as the

word AIN, which is both BTN and AMK. [Qabalistic Text and

Commentary, 32nd communication 2/9/48]. see 67, 400, 713.

BThN beten. belly, stomach, womb, the inmost part. It refers to

the fruitfulness and power of growth which are inseparable from

any true notion of the nature of the One Reality. The "great

womb" of the No-Thing is the same as the Mulaprakriti, or

root-matter, of Hindu philosophy. It is also that which is

inmost in the life of man. Wherever we are, there It is also,

with all its limitless supply for every human need. It also

suggest that our sense of being in the physical body is largely

due to the visceral sensation.

AILK ayilak. farther, further, hither, thither, afterwards.

[Sepher Yetzirah 4:16] Increased distance, or lengthened spatial

relation (farther), and also of going beyond previous performance

or attainment, the conception of transcendence (further). It

serves also to remind us that AIN, the First Veil, designates

something beyond the range of intellectual definition or

perception. Compare these ideas with the symbolism of the Fool,

which corresponding to AIN.

ALIK alika. to thee, toward thee [Genesis 43:9]. Farther

expresses the idea of motion away from an observer. Toward thee

expresses the idea of motion toward an observer. In relation to

Ain, however remote the No-Thing may seem, it is omnipresent,

nearer than anything else. Man's yearning and striving toward

the Infinite is a reaction to the One's earlier movement toward

the heart of man. One familiar phrasing of this idea is,

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock."

ANI ani. I, myself. First person, singular pronoun. There is

only one Real Self in the universe. Understood "I" as being

essentially identical with that Self, and is the fullness of all

being--yet also the Ain, because it goes beyond every limitation

of Things. Godwin also gives: 37th name of Shemhamphorash, short

form, associated with the 1st quinance (1

-5

) of Aquarius. see

92, 1525.

HVN hone. wealth, riches, capital, substance. as an adverb

enough. From a root which means: to be empty; to gain by

effort. The nature of the effort has been perfectly expressed by

Lao-tze in his admonition: "Having emptied yourself, remain

where you are." Our true wealth is within us-the Ain is the true

basis of all material possessions. Letter by letter it signifies:

Vision (Heh), intuition and the power of correlation (Vav) and

imagination (Nun), are the basis of creative power. see 711

HIVM ha-yom. this day (Deuteronomy 9:l). One of the words

delusions is that we are somehow separated from the AIN, Ain. Or

speech betrays us. The wise live out "this day" with smiling

hearts. For the Ain is beyond time, just as certainly as it is

free from other restrictions. ALL that it is, it is NOW.

HLVK hawlok. motion, walking. The root-idea is "a series of

steps." Walking is the human function which THE BOOK OF FORMATION

associates with the letter Nun and Key 13. The Fool is shown in

the act of walking, with one more step ahead of him before he

comes to the edge of the precipice. However free from action the

Absolute may appear to be, it is Itself the very essence of

progress and advancement. It is dynamic being-in-action. It is

the Primal Will craving urge (1), towards the production of

beautiful results (6). We have difficulty with the idea of a

moving Absolute, because motion seems to be the contradiction of

all that "Absolute" means.

NGCh nagakh. to thrust, or push, as with the horns of an animal,

to butt. Figuratively: "to make war." Ain as the inexhaustible

source of a dynamic energy which thrusts itself into

manifestation forcibly, and in so doing becomes the adversary of

inertia.

NVH navah. to abide, to dwell; as a noun (Naven): home,

habitation. The Ain is our dwelling place. In it we live, and

move, and have our being. To experience it is to realize that

the Ain is our home, a haven of refuge and a place of safety. As

an adjective: same pointing, beautiful, comely, dwelling,

abiding. In Rosenroth [K.D.L.C.K.], p. 564] gives: ?Habithculur?,

and says it is Malkuth, which receives Tiphareth into itself.

DMBIH Damabiah. "God, Fountain of Wisdom." 65th Shemhamphorash;

angel of 10 of Swords. 321

-325

PIEBION-Moon. May 23, August 5,

October 14, December 25, March 7. 9:20-9:40 [Psalm 90:13] Against

expeditions, and naval constructions. Influences sailors, pilots,

i.e. ?PCHE?, and all those engage in commerce. Person born:

distinguishes himself at sea by his expeditions and discoveries,

and amasses a considerable fortune. Godwin gives: Angel of the

5th quinance (21

-25

) of Gemini; angel by day of the 10 of

Swords. This represents the operation of Malkuth; sphere of the

elements, in Yetzirah, the World of Formation. Davidson adds that

Damabiah is an angel of the Order of Angels. see 965, 1525, 46.

ZAGN Zagan. Gothic demon by night of the 1st decanate of

Sagittarius. The name of the demon suggest the power of

separation (Z), unregulated energy (A), psychic reflection of

negative patterns (G), in reproductive error (N). This decanate,

ruled by Jupiter suggest subconscious imbalance, resulting in

negative aspects of theses qualities, including deep depression.

This decanate also corresponds to the 8 of Wands in the Tarot

minor arcana, which is the operations of Hod, the lower mind, in

Atziluth, the archetypal plane. When negatively aspected, as

here, this can indicate violence, warfare; rapacity, insolence;

theft or robbery, suggesting by some of the evil meanings

connected with Hermes or Mercury, associated with misuse of human

intellect. For more on this word, see 711.

HChVILH ha-Havilah. Havilah. Name of a land (where gold is).

Genesis 2:11. see 59, 44, 345.

IIIAL Yiaial. [Psalm 121:5] Godwin gives: Yeyayel; angel of the

4th quinance (16

-20

) of Scorpio; angel my night of the 6 of

Cups. This represent the influence of Tiphareth; sphere of the

Sun or Central Ego, in Briah, the World of Creation. Davidson

adds that Ieiaiel is an angel of the Future, sharing the office

with Teiaiel. [Dictionary of Angels, p.148]

Greek/Latin

materia (Lt). matter, substance. This extends the conceptions we

have been considering in relation to [AMK] and [BThN]. We must

constantly readjust our conception of substance. We must

continually we rid ourselves of the false notion that power and

wealth are to be sought in the accumulation of things. The

world's failures may be traced to belief in external things and

to dependence on them. They never fail who rest secure in their

reliance on the Ain.

magnum (Lt). great. Refers to the Great Work (see 124).

artis (Lt). of (the) Art. this is the art of alchemy, which

transforms the dross personality into the Gold of union with the

Higher Self (see 314 Latin).

discern, know, perceive. The root of Binah [BINH], understanding,

which is the finitizing principle (see 67).

ZNH zawnaw. false mixture; to commit fornication, be a harlot,

figuratively, to go after strange gods. Also: ZNH to commit

fornication; ZNH: to be committed (fornication)

VVIM vavim. "hooks", pegs, nails. Used in the construction of

the veil of the Holy of holies, in the Hebrew Tabernacle. [Exodus

38:28] "And of the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five

shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their

capitals, and overlaid the hooks with silver." see 12, 1775 =

palace of the body of heaven, i.e. Netzach, sphere of Venus.

NIB niyb. produce, fruit. [Malachi 1:12] "But you are profaning

it, [i.e. the Lord's name] in that you say, the table of the Lord

is polluted and its food (fruit) is contemptible." Also in

[Isaiah 87:19] "I create the fruit of the lips [i.e. speech);

peace, peace to those who are afar off and to those who are near,

says the Lord; and I will heal them."

HAVN hown. Ability, vigor.

VKVL vakool. hold.

BHNH bhinnay. behold.

BMChZH bamakhazeh. in the vision of the Lord.

ThVB MAD tov-meod. very good.

B/S Beth/Samekh. Mercury in Sagittarius.

post (Latin). after. following the discoveries, one becomes an

illumined brother. Part of a phrase in Secret symbols. see 717.

sophia (Latin). wisdom. From Greek [Greek word]. see 781 (Gr.),

chalybs (Latin). steel. "Our chalybs is the true key of our art,

without which the torch would in no wise be kindled, and as the

true magi have delivered many things concerning it, so among

vulgar alchemists there is great contention as to its nature. It

is the ore of gold, the purest of all spirits; a secret,

infernal, and yet most volatile fire, the wonders of the world...

as steel is attracted to the magnet, and the magnet turns toward

the steel, so also our magnet attracts our chalybs. Thus, as

chalybs is the ore of Gold, so abounds in salt, which salt is the

menstruum in the sphere of the Moon, and can calcine gold. This

center turns toward the pole with anarchetic appetite, in which

the virtue of chalybs is exalted by degrees..." [Hermetic Museum

II, pp.. 166-167]. Case chalybs = 62 = Sophia.

valles (Latin). a valley or vale; use in Rosicrucian and alchemy

to designate the field of the great work. Compare this with the

various details of Tarot symbolism which show the great work as

being carried on, and especially as beginning, at the level of

self-conscious awareness. Note that in Key 0, the Fool (Aleph-

spirit) is descending into the valley of manifestation. see 45

(Latin).

frater (Lt). Brother. The "breathern" are spiritual related

through the Heart (see 701, 246).

intacta (Lt). Untouchable. Part of a motto found on the tomb of

Brother CR (see 136 Latin).

63 (3*3*7)

HChN khane. the grace.

KBVD-AL Kabode-AL. the Glory of God. Spirit resides in all

manifested form, yet it takes selfconscious work to recognize

this.

"Remember now that the Glory is the Kabode-El, for God is One and

alone and there is nothing else, as saith Isaiah. Al is 31, and

KBVD is 32, so that KBVD-AL is 63. Here you may be searching

find much treasure. First, 63 is 9 times 7. Among the

Sephiroth, this is the multiplication of Victory by the power of

the Foundation. Among the letters it is the multiplication of

Zain by the power of Teth.

Nor are these in any measure different, for what is the Victory

if it be not that of the Sword of Understanding, and what is the

Foundation, if it be not a power of the Royal Serpent?

Here, indeed, may you find a rich treasure, and the text points

straight at it.

We shall not now give you more than this one hint. As students

familiar with our Rota, note well the words of the text

concerning 63 as the multiplication of Zain by Teth. Do not

forget that the path of Zain links Binah to Tiphareth, and that

ZIN is 67, as is BINH. Right disposition is rooted in

Understanding, and this is the sharp sword of discrimination, for

there is no love without understanding, and love must be

discriminating in the good and constructive sense of this word.

But note that Zain as 7 must be multiplied by Teth as 9 to make

the 63 of KBVD-AL, and though Teth is the serpent-power, the Rota

pictures that power as a red lion, tamed by a woman who

represents the feminine aspect of Chesed. Every Sephirah, you

remember, is both male and female. Female, as receiving the

descending influence. Male as projecting it to whatever paths

are below, and this feminine Chesed is pictured as being like the

Empress. For the taming of the lion and the serpent, these two

being really identical, is woman's work even as it is written in

the writings of the Sons of Hermes. If you have ears to hear,

this shall be for you a practical revelation of the Great

Arcanum." [23rd Communication] see 32, 67, 73, 833, 124, 419, 430

2. The Zohar [Prologue: 8a, pp. 33-34] adds: "'The glory of EL'

(God) signifies glory of [CHECK FOR MISSING TEXT] the bride which

is called EL, as it is written 'and EL hath indignation every

day' [Psalm 8:12]; all the days of the year it is called EL,

signifying glory on glory, splendor on splendor, and dominion on

dominion. Thus at the time when heaven enters into the canopy and

irradiates her, all those companions who joined in her adornment

have their names recorded there above, as it is written, 'and the

firmament showeth his handiwork..' the words 'his handiwork'

being an allusion to those who have entered into a covenant with

the bride."

ABDVN aybadon. destruction [Proverbs 15:11] "Sheol (Death) [the

place of the dead] and Abaddon (destruction) [the abyss, the

final place of the accuser Satan] both are before the Lord; how

much more the hearts of the children of men? (Amplified) Godwin

gives: angle of the bottomless pit [in Revelation]. Davidson

adds: "According to Mathers, The Greater Key of Solomon, Abaddon

is a name for God that Moses invoked to bring down the blighting

rain over Egypt. The Qabbalist Joseph Ben Abraham Gikatilla

denominates Abaddon as the 6th Lodge of the seven lodges of Hell

(Arka), under the presidency of the Angel Pasiel.. Abaddon has

also been identified as the angel of death and destruction, demon

of the abyss, and chief of the demons of the underworld

hierarchy, where he is equated with Samael or Satan." [Dictionary

of Angels, pp. 1-2] see 12

VBNH va-bawnaw. and establishes.

SG seg (cont). According to Fabre D'Olivet: "SG. The

circumferential sign united to the organic sign, constitutes a

root whose purpose is to depict the effect of the circumferential

possibility." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 06]

DGVN Dagon. A fish-god of the Philistines. [1 Samuel 5:2] "After

the Philistines had captured the Ark of God, they took it from

meaning and purpose in the reign of divine law. In human

personality are summed up all the forces and laws of the

universe. Man is the instrument through which the Life-power

brings the Great Work to completion, symbolized by the pentagram,

one of the geometrical correspondences to the number 5 and

Geburah. see 92, 216, 95, 297, 850.

Benjohai [Zohar I: 191, III:144], contains all that is in heaven

prototype*; for all things subsist by and in it: without it there

would be no world, and in this sense we are to understand these

words, The Eternal has founded the earth upon his Wisdom."

The Aesh Mezareph [VII, pp. 39-40] speaking of alchemical Silver

says: "This wife (or female) is also called mezahab, the Waters

of Gold, or such a water as sends forth Gold. If the artist be

betrothed to her, he will beget a daughter, who will be the water

Life." He comments: "The absolute verb ChVH, receiving the sign

of potential manifestation in place of the convertible sign,

becomes the symbol of universal life ChIH: But if the first

character of this important word degenerates, and is changed into

that of elementary existence, it express in ChIH only natural,

animal, bestial life: the symbol of absolute material life in

OIH. [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 288]

Greek/Latin

aletheia (Gr). truth. Literally: "Not forgetting." Suggest

perfect memory. The magician opposes reality to appearance, fact

to fancy, order to disorder. "Ye shall know the truth and the

truth shall make you free." For that which is at once liberation

and preservation is the understanding and living of truth.

genea (Gr). Birth, race, descent; a generation, offspring, age,

period, time, nation.

dictum (Lt). a saying; a prediction, a prophecy; an order, a

command. The Perfect Law is at once a prophecy and a command.

domus (Lt). abode, dwelling, home, house. The Divine Justice is

our true abiding place.

sal aqua (Lt). salt water (SECRET SYMBOLS, page 30). Sal Aqua is

called also Matrix Corpus, matrix of the body. The

correspondence is to Geburah as the Sphere of Mars (see 674, 82,

156).

salus (Lt). health, well-being, prosperity, deliverance,

preservation.

solve (Lt). dissolve. The first of two alchemical admonitions.

The other is coagula, coagulate. Dissolution comes first. We

must remember that the use of creative imagination is concerned

with the breaking down

of old forms and habits as well as the

building up of new ones. You cannot become the New Creature and

remain as you are. There is a relation between the highest

functions of Geburah and alchemical dissolution.

sperma (Latin). seed. The whole alchemical work has to do with

the "seed of metals." The "metals" are the inner centers of the

body, the stars or chakras. The power which works through them is

the "seed". The Mars energy can bring the 7 psychic centers

(metals) into conscious activity. Human beings are sometimes

called "metals" by the alchemists. On the same page of THE SECRET

SYMBOLS where we find sal aqua, we read "Semen Spiriti Sancti,"

and, in the Latin of the Rosicrucians, semen and sperma are

interchangeable terms (ex semen spiriti sancti). see 50 (Latin),

146, 210, 199 (Latin).

Virgo (Lt). A Virgin. Name of the zodiacal sign Virgo, symbolized

in Tarot by Key 9, the Hermit, and by the letter Yod. see 10, 20,

515 (Greek).

Paragon. Webster: to compare; to parallel; a mold or pattern.

"The true philosophers are far of another mind, esteeming little

the making of [physical] Gold, which is but a paragon, for

besides that they have a thousand better things..." [R.C.

Allegory, p. 7].

Gradus. Step, grade. Implies a level of consciousness, Part of a

Latin Phrase. see 166.

Anima media (Lt). middle spirit. "...figured by the Tree of

Knowledge... the only medicine to repair the decays of the

natural man..." [Thomas Vaughan].

65 (5*13)

The number of the units of the pentagon when the length of the

sides are 13 units each.

ADNI Adonai. Lord. Divine Name for Malkuth, attributed to the

element earth [ARTz]. The Haikal, or temple, is for human

personality the physical body, and that body is formed from the

earth, or physical manifestation of the Life-power's spiritual

energy taking form as the "matter" constituting man's body in his

physical environment. All activities of man are carried on within

the being and body of Adonai.

DVDIM Deodayim. Mandrake. [Genesis 30:14] "And Reuben went in

the days of wheat harvest, and found Mandrakes in the field, and

brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, give

me, I pray thee, of thy son s Mandrakes." [Hermetic Museum I. p.

57] "As I foundered in my mind the marvels of the most high, and

the duty of fervent love to our neighbors, which he laid upon us;

I remembered the wheat of harvest, when Reuben (25?1?) the son of

Leah, found Dudaim (DVDAIM] in the field, which Leah gave to

Rachel for the love of the Patriarch Jacob." Paul Case: DVDAIM =

65 = ADNI = HIKL. HIKL, according to Sepher Yetzirah, is in the

midst. Note that DVDAIM, mandrakes, are aphrodisiac. The same

root is found in DVD = ZHB, Gold. see Aesch Metzareph and Genesis

30:14.

KMH Kawmah. Cama or Kama; "to pine, or long for." This is the

name of the ?Hindu? God of love, or desire." [Inman].

HIKL haikel. temple, palace. Meeting place for the Shekinah. The

Zohar [Prologue 3B, pp. 13-14] adds: "The holy and mysterious one

?carved? in a hidden recess one point. In that he enclosed the

whole of creation as one who locks up all his treasures in a

palace, under one key, which is therefore as valuable as all that

is stored up in that palace; for it is the key which shuts and

opens. In that palace there are hidden treasures, one greater

than the other. The palace is provided with fifty mystic gates.

They are inserted in its four sides to the number of 49. The one

remaining gate is on none of its sides and it is unknown whether

it is on high or below: it is hence called the mysterious gate.

All these gates have one lock, and there is one tiny spot for the

insertion of the key, which is only marked by the impress of the

key. It is this mystery which is implied in the words in the

beginning created God. " HIKL = 65. It is "in the midst"

according to Sepher Yetzirah-the interior center (Tav). the

divine essence = ?AIV ANI?. HIKL may be read H I KL = The Yod

All. The Yod is the point of concentration. "Light and there was

Light. These words imply that there had already been Light. This

word AVR (light), contains in itself a hidden significance. The

expansive force proceeding from the hidden recesses of this

secret supernal ether opened a path and produced from itself a

mysterious point (or, rather, the ?ens? of (limitless) ?clave/

its own ether and disclosed this point), Yod." [Zohar I: 16B,

p.69]

HS haws. hush! keep silence. In Habbakuk 2:20 "The Lord (IHVH)

is in his holy temple [HIKL], let all the earth [ARTz] keep

silence before him." see 671.

Fabre D'Olivet writes: "HS. Onomatopoetic and idiomatic root

which depicts silence. The Arabic [word] seems to indicate a sort

of dull murmur, as when a herd grazes in the calm of night."

[Hebrew Tongue Restored p. 332]

DVMIH dumiah. silence, quietness; the 4th occult maxim (to keep

silent). Hence: trusting in silence, hoping, waiting. [Psalm

62:1] "Truly my soul trust God in silence; my salvation comes

from him."

GDM IChD gam yakhad. "together in unity," [Psalm 133:2].

Important in Masonry. see 2, 13, 22, 1169.

HLL hallel. to shine, glory, praise, to commend, sign praises,

Thanksgiving. Psalms 113-118 recited by the Hebrews on new moon

and festivals. Also: HLL: to shine, to be boastful, foolish.

alone Tetragrammaton can be grasped, whose exaction into Binah is

found in the Christian assumption of the virgin." see 52.

MZVZH melozah. door post. A rolled up piece of parchment

containing Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and Deuteronomy 11:13-17 fixed on

scripture or in the Hebrew Lexicon. It suggest the quality of

guile and deceit which hinders the great work.

Latin

L.V.X. (Lt). Lux. Light. The universal radiance which is the

essential substance of all manifested things (see 207).

jugum (Lt). yoke. Part of a Rosicrucian motto, Legis Jugum, found

in the vault of C.R. related to the Sanskrit yoga or union, and

to the throat-center symbolized by Taurus and by Venus. see 113

(Lt), 870 (Greek), 111.

follis (Lt). a leather bag, purse; a pair of bellows; puffed-out

cheeks. In Tarot, the wallet of the Fool, Key 0. "The wallet

contains the summed-up experience of previous manifestations,

because, at the beginning of every new cycle of self-expression,

the Life-power carries with it the essence of all its experiences

in former cycles." [Paul Case: The Tarot, p. 34] Also, the Fool

(Spirit) itself. "...Fool is derived from the Latin "follis"

meaning a "bag of wind". Thus the Fool symbolizes that which

contains air, or breath." [Highlights of Tarot, p. 16] see 82

66 (2*3*11)

celestial orb, heaven (As the wheeling of the heavenly bodies-

the "beginning of the whirlings" is attributed to Kether). A

special name of Shekinah, the Divine presence ("cognomen

scheckinae"). Compare with Rota as the rotary nature of all

formative activity (48). GLGL is used in Sepher Yetzirah 2:4 as

signifying circle, celestial orb, sphere: "These 22 letters,

which are the foundation of all things, he arranged as on a

sphere with 231 gates, and the sphere may be rotated forward or

backward, whether for good or for evil; from the good comes true

pleasure, from evil naught but torments." see also 3, 21, 12, 30,

39, 48, 57, 75, 116 (and zero).

ANIH aneih. a ship. Symbolizes the formative world as the

connecting medium which carries the powers of the higher worlds

down into the external physical plane. Conversely, the means

whereby, on the path of return, we may be ferried over from the

physical world to those beyond. see 7, 22, 14, 44, 21, 28, 88.

KMV kemo. like, as, when. [Exodus 14:5] see 19

DNHBH Dinhabah. "Give forth judgements." Capital city of Bela,

King of Edom. [Genesis 36:32] "And Bela the son of Beor reigned

in Edom: and the name of his city was Dinhabah",; [IRQ: 522]

"What is DNHBH, Dinhabah? As if it were to be said, give forth

Judgement. " The kingdom of Edom is that of unbalanced force;

compare DN, Dan, "Judgement" = putrefaction = Scorpio = 54.

GNVZ gawnuz. hidden, secret. See "hidden light" (273).

BN-DVD Ben-David. son of David. "The builders of the temple...

must be the son of David ... David is the English from of..

Davd , which means beloved , and the builder is therefore the

son of the beloved. David is called in scripture the man after

God s own heart , a description exactly answering to the name;

and we therefore find that Solomon the builder is the son of the

man who has entered into that reciprocal relation with God or

the Universal Spirit, which can only be described as love."

[Thomas Troward: Bible Mystery and Bible Meaning, p. 123] see

375, 52, 14, 771 (Greek).

Latin/Greek

Aurora (Lt). Dawn. "The Chaldean word for dawn is ShPRPR. In

Daniel 6:1; this word, prefixed with the letter Beth is

translated "in the morning" ["Then the King arose very early in

the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions"] It is

written BShPRPRA, the final Aleph indicates that the word is

definite, emphatic. There is a mystery here for this is a the

Hebrew text is permutated. The first Peh is written much smaller

that the other letters; and the second Peh is written much larger

than the other letters. This method is call permutation." see

860. [Giljhnston: Gematria of the Pentagram-compiled]

Biagenos (Lt). A Rosicrucian mountain; life-giving, generating,

strength.

granum (Lt). A seed. In the Fama, brother CR is called "Granum

Pectori Jesu Insitum," A seed planted in the breast of Jesus. The

inner meaning has to do with Jesus own saying: "The seed is the

word." Note that both "dawn" and "seed" imply the first stage of

development (see 310, 95, 50, 99 Latin).

Aurum (Lt). Gold. see 14, 109, 246 (Latin).

BINH Binah. Understanding, the third Sephirah. Sometimes Binah

is translated as "Intelligence." This must not be confused with

[ShKL], saykel, which is the more general term for intelligence,

or more accurately, for consciousness.

The fundamental meaning of Binah is the power of separation, the

ability to distinguish truth from falsehood, and the power to

adapt means to ends. Thus it is the mental ability to distinguish

one thing from another which is the basis for understanding.

Binah is both the dark sterile Mother, AMA and AIMA Aima, the

bright, pregnant Mother. This aspect of Reality is the matrix of

all possible specialized forms of expression. Ama represents

this aspect of Being prior to the beginning of a cycle of the

Life-power's self-manifestation. Aima is the fertile womb from

which flow forth all forms made manifest during such a cycle of

the Life-power's self-expression.

Binah is called Shabbathai, the Sphere of Saturn, because every

appearance of special, particularized manifestation necessitates

limits of quantity, quality, mass, form, etc. In the

astrological terminology of Ageless Wisdom, the contractile,

limiting power is called Saturn. Note, in this connection, that

the birth of living creatures results from contraction of the

womb which carries the body during its period of gestation.

Binah is attributed [NShMH] Neshamah, the Divine Breath, the Holy

Spirit in Christian symbolism. No matter how gravely a human

being sins, this Neshamah is never involved. It is the highest

aspect of Soul. The seat of the Divine Life's intuitive

knowledge of all that it is, and of all that it must inevitably

bring into manifestation because of what it knows itself to be.

In man, Neshamah is the source of intuitive knowledge of

spiritual truth. It is also the supreme source of guidance in

the progress of man toward mastery.

"Thus may you come to understand that the Sabbath of the Eternal

never ends. How then may man find rest, save in the heart of the

Mother? For that heart is the ever virgin Neshamah, and she is

one with the Everlasting Heavens. Dark she is, but comely, even

as Solomon saith. The source of terror to the ignorant, and

therefore Pachad dependeth with all its stern judgments from her.

Yet is she also AMK, Ameka, thy Mother, and her heart swelleth

with love. For behold AMK: is it not 61, and this is BTN, the

dark womb of creation? And again, it is AIN, the Boundless, for

there are no limits to the overflowing love, springing like a

fountain of Living Waters from the heart of the Mother.

Everywhere may you find that heart, ye Children of Light, and

nowhere else shall it be found, save at the center, which is the

Holy Temple in the Midst, where Shabbathai hath its abode. There

all is perfect rest, and thus was the great temple on earth built

by Solomon, whose name signifieth "the peaceful," and set up in

Jerusalem the dwelling place of peace. For these outer things

are but figures. Until ye find the Hill of Zion in yourselves

they shall be no more than figures, and dark ones in very

truth...

Comment: All through the words of the wise there is a continual

recurrence to the idea that the ONE is timeless. That sequence

has little or no meaning to the consciousness which is above and

beyond all human thought. Thus often there seems to be confusion

in their words. For example, in the last part of the Text, Binah

is identified with Ameka, thy Mother, and immediately this is

indicated as being the same as the first veil of AIN, and as the

vast expanse of the dark nothingness which is the womb of

creation. Yet the Text is all the while dealing also with

Saturn, and with the Path of Tav, and so with the idea of the

eternal equilibrium or perfect rest at the center. Moreover,

that rest is by clear implication identified with the Waters of

Life. You may remember that our Elder Brother is reported to

have said, "To those who labor I will give you rest," and to have

told the woman that if she but knew who was speaking to her, that

knowledge would be a well of living water. The meaning is not

far to seek. Had she known who spoke to her she would have known

the central Reality of her own Being, and who knows that, finds

eternal life, eternal rest, and perfect peace, for these three

are one. What you must take as your clue to the application to

most of the Text referring to Shabbathai, is the place of Tav on

the Tree. Note that the Mezlah descends to Malkuth through Tav,

is what completes the perfection of Binah." [Qabalistic Text and

Commentary, 32nd Communication, 2/9/48]

***"The four doctrines of the Grade of Magister Templi are

derived from the name BINH, Binah, Understanding. They are as

follows: 1. (Beth: Key 1, The Magician) Human personality is a

medium for the transmission of the high potential of the Life-

power, working at superconscoius levels, to the lower potentials

of embodiment in the field of existence below the lever of human

self-consciousness. A Master of the Temple never for a moment

loses his awareness of his relationship to that which is above,

nor his awareness of innate power to control that which is below.

No appearance ever frightens him. He never makes the mistake of

supposing that he, personally, performs any action, or that the,

personally, is responsible for any result. He is the witness of

the mighty works of the One Identity. Watching the phenomena of

this world, he sees everything working out for the inevitable

freedom which is the necessary consequence of the Life-power s

self-expression. 2. (Key 9: The Hermit) A Master of the Temple

has fully identified himself as being none other than the silent

watcher on the heights of being. He perceives, with that watcher,

that all activity is a series of transformation of the energy of

subconsciousness. He knows that the self moves not, nor enters

into any action. He knows that it as the eternal witness of the

activities of its own power. 3. (Nun: Key 13: Death) A Master of

the Temple perceives that necessity and the beneficence of the

continual transformation of physical vehicles. He sees that this

principle of endless change in the world of form brings about the

appearance of death. He does more than see. He has grasped the

affirmative factor in the phenomenon of Death. he has borrowed

strength form the eagle by using nerve currents which in

ordinary men have no outlet save through the sex-function. A

Master of the Temple employs these currents to stimulate certain

parts of his brain. Through their functions, he gains the

knowledge which delivers him from the body of this death , and

gives him joyous freedom from the limitations of three-

dimensional existence. 4. Heh, Key 4: The Emperor. Perfectly

identified with the One Will, a Master of the Temple shares with

that one its power as the Constitution Intelligence which makes,

frames and composes the world. He has taken the full measure of

his humanity in its relation to the Life-power. He sees himself

as he really is. In that unwavering vision of truth there is no

place for any faulty adjustment, either of his personal vehicles

or of that larger vehicle of life, his environment. [True and

Invisible, p. 279-281, 2nd printing]

ChNTh khanat. to ripen (as fruit, because ripeness, odor and

flavor go together) , to embalm (a body) or preserve, to spice

(food). Binah, Understanding, is a preservative and relates to

the preservation of a body of wisdom inherited from the past.

Binah perfects human personality through complete mastery of the

physical organism. It is that which holds the Wisdom of Chokmah.

Related to final mastery of the human organism and to the body of

C.R. found fair and unconsumed in a sepulcher.

ZIN Letter name Zain. weapon, sword. The sword symbolizes

discrimination gained through trial and error, and understanding

is the ripened fruit of discrimination. There is a distinct

relationship between the third Sephirah, the Suit of Swords and

the Yetziratic world. "Now consider also that Mercury rules

Gemini, represented in the Rota by Key 6, and this is the key

corresponding to Zain, the name of which letter is the number 67,

the same as the value of Binah. That is, the Path of Zain is the

first channel for the descending influence of Binah, and partakes

of her essential nature. She however is pregnant with the

descending influence from Kether through the Path of Beth..."

[Commentary-33rd Communication 2/12/48]

"...the secret of Tiphareth is 7, or Netzach; but since 7 is also

Zain, the secret is shown in the Rota by the Lovers, and their

number in the series is 6. Furthermore, Zain is, in Hebrew, ZIN,

and this adds to 67, the value of BINH, Binah, whence the path of

the Lovers descends to Tiphareth. 6, 9 and 13 are the Rota

numbers of ZIN, and this is 28, the perfect number which is the

extension of 7, and 7 is Netzach." [13th Communication] see 1081,

187, 148, 418, 134 (Latin).

"Daleth is the path of union of AB and AIMA. Without that union,

Binah is AMA, dark and sterile; but after that union she is AIMA,

and brings forth BN, the Son. See, then, that the path of Zain

carries down the power of Binah, and therefore is there a

mountain, symbol of pregnancy, in the background of Key 6."

[Commentary-13th Communication 5/28/47]

ZLL zahlal. to shake, to tremble, to quake; to pour out, to shake

out; motion to and fro. The root idea is vibration-a step

downward from the perfection of Kether. To manifest at all, the

limitless must enter into conditions of apparent restriction.

Vibration is alternating activity, and the vibratory pitch of

anything represents certain fixed limits or boundaries. This

coincides with Binah as the first Sephirah of limitation and the

basis of all form. Saturn is active in Binah because its root

meaning is the same limitation and "fixing of boundaries" which

is essential to the expression of anything at all. Also: to be a

glutton, to be vile, mean. Prodigality and waste, baseness. The

product of unrestricted subconscious activity.

NGID Nagiyd. "he who is foremost", or "he who is at the front". a

leader, a prince, noble, a prefect (Daniel 9:25). The Hebrew name

for the Rosicrucian Grade of Master of the Temple, corresponding

to Binah.

Son.

Natura. Nature; Mother Nature. Nature is the Maya-Shakti of Hindu

philosophy, the finitizing principle Qabalists name Binah.

unus. one; alone, single, sole. Refers to the unity of all life.

"As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned

up as it were fire. The stone of it are the place of sapphires:

and it hath dust of Gold." The earth or physical body brings

forth the bread of life from the "secret fire". In the passage

cited, the phrase translated "stones of it" is ABNIH, which

broken down is IH ABN, ehban Yah. As IH, is the special divine

name attributed to Chokmah, and ABN expresses the union of

Chokmah and Tiphareth, the son, ABNIH is a symbol of that union.

(Chokmah, as the sphere of the fixed stars, is the greater whole

that includes the special sphere of the sun, or Tiphareth, in as

much as the sun is one of the fixed stars. see 78, 536.

O Ayin. "The letter Ayin does not speak. It only sees. It is an

eye, OIN. Close your eyes. Open your mouth. Now try to see. That

is the sound of Ayin." [The Book of Letters, Rabbi Kushner] "The

name of the letters OIN when rearranged, spells "Poor" ONI. The

letter Ayin comes after Samekh in the alphabet, to teach us that

a man should "support" (S) the "poor" (O) before poverty causes

them to fall. In its shape also, the letter Ayin, with its one

curved leg, suggest a person who has no firm basis; it is bending

and unstable." [Letter of Fire, Rabbi Glazerson]

"This path (26th, connecting Tiphareth to Hod) is connected with

the letter Ayin, and the name of this letter, besides signifying

the eye as an organ of sight , also means the visible part of

an object, the surface, the appearance. Thus the word Ayin

stands for the phenomenal as opposed to the noumenal, for that

which is given to sensation or impression as opposed to that

which is subject to natural verification. The eye is therefore

the natural symbol of those external shows which conceals

reality. It is the sign of man s finite experience of things as

they seem, as opposed to the realities of the hidden essence

veiled, in form. Through the function of the eye we become aware

of the phantasmagoria of the phenomenal world, which Shakespeare

called this unsubstantial pageant. The untrained eye is the

great deceiver. On this account the letter Ayin is attributed to

the Tarot Key whose title means The Slanderer. [Paul Case: True

and Invisible Rosicrucian Order (4th), p. 340].

In scripture this is the number of years of the ordinary span of

human life, in contrast to the magical age of 120 years,

mentioned by the Psalmist. (In Key 15 the evil represents the

dweller on the threshold, barring the way that leads to the inner

center. Thus he is the same in function as Daleth, the door which

must be opened and passed before we can enter the palace of the

king.) [Paul Case: True and Invisible (4th), p. 182]

The Chaldean character looks nothing like an eye, but its form

suggest the duality of human visions, the letter-name more

definitely. [Paul Case: Tarot Practice Course] see 358

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "This character should be considered

under the double relation of vowel and consonant. Following its

vocal acceptation, it represents the interior of the ear of man,

and becomes the symbol of confused, dull, inappreciable noises;

deep sounds without harmony. Following its consonantal

acceptation, it belongs to the guttural sound and represents the

cavity of the chest. Under both relations as grammatical sign, it

is in general, that of material sense, image of void and

nothingness as vowel, it is the sign Vav, considered in its

purely physical relations: as consonant, it is the sign of that

which is cooked, false, perverse and bad." [The Hebrew Tongue

Restored, p. 413]

HSH haseh. Hush! Be silent! Hold your peace! Also: HSH (hasah),

to be silent; tongues. Compare this with the meaning of pax (35),

has to do with the control of speech. Silence: one of the 4

occult maxims. It is the soundless voice of the inner life,

expressing itself through thought. Heh reminds us that to receive

the inner tuition we must learn to keep silent. For the clearest,

intensest vision, this is essential. 2nd Heh (Malkuth-the Bride).

We shall accomplish more work and do it better if we do not say

too much about our plans and projects. Samekh hints that in

silence there is a supporting or sustain power. Desire will be

intensified. see 474, 346, 131, 815.

Paul Case, writing in Theory of Magic says: "The Hebrew word for

silence HSH, claims our attention now. Its first letter is Heh,

and so is its last. Our teachers in the Qabalah, tell us that the

first Heh is the Heh of the Mother, Aima of Binah, while the last

is the Heh of the Bride, Malkuth. The first Heh, therefore

corresponds to the creative world and to the faculty of

intuition. Thus it reminds us that to receive the interior

tuition which reveals to us the mysteries of cosmic law we must

learn to keep silent. The inner voice is not heard by those who

indulge in needless talk, furthermore, the letter Heh is the

letter of sight, and for the clearest, intensest vision, silence

is essential. The second Heh may serve to remind us of Lao-Tze

dictum the state should be governed as we cook small fish,

without much business." When we come to apply whatever magical

knowledge we may possess to the actual work of taking our part in

the administration of the kingdom, we shall accomplish more work

and do it better if we do not have too much to say about our

plans and projects. The middle letter of HSH, Samekh, hints that

in silence there is a supporting or sustaining power. That this

is true every practical occultist learns sooner or later. The

practice of silence as to what you aim at, as to what you are

doing, has two very important practical results. First of all, it

prevents other people from leaning of your plans and perhaps

setting themselves in opposition to you. Thus silence is over and

over again a time-saver and an energy-saver. Secondly, the

practice of silence serves to intensity desire-force. Your one

aim (the arrow of the archer, represented by the letter Samekh)

is something that you must keep religiously to yourself. Not even

your closest friends should know of it. This one aim is typified

in Revelation by the white stone, upon which is written a name

which no man knoweth, save him that receiveth it. The one things

you have to do in order to fulfill your destiny will be, or

perchance has been, revealed to you from within. See that you

tell no man. For in silence and secrecy the strength and potency

of that aim will be intensified until it dominates your whole

life. But if you tell your secret to other people, virtue goes

out of you and you are almost certain to incite somebody to acts

of open or veiled opposition." (pp. 166-168) [1925] see 815

"HSH has to do with the control of speech. It intimates that

there is a something not to be disclosed, except in the company

of the truly qualified; and this mystery is typified by the wine,

and by intoxication (in both good and bad senses). It is a

mystery of darkness (LIL) and limitation (S?VBB?), and it has to

do with the various appearances reported by our senses (the

letter Ayin and Key 15) Yet is it also a mystery of renewal and

regeneration, and this mystery is the SVD which has been

preserved generation after generation, in the assembly of the

inner school." [ML 22:6,7]

KN. ken. thus, "so", just so, such, so much; honest. In Genesis

1:7: "So Elohim made the firmament and separated the water under

the expanse from the water above it. And it was so." Also in

Genesis 42:11: "We are all sons of one man. Your servants are

honest [KNIM] men, not spies." see 720.

IIN yayin. Wine. This is word is used in Genesis 9:21: "And he

[Noah] drank of its [the vineyard s] wine, and became drunken;

and he was uncovered within his tent."

***Fabre D'Olivet renders this verse: "And being steeped with the

spirit of his production, he intoxicated his thought (attained

ecstasy) and (in his exactation he revealed himself in the center

(most secret place) of his tabernacle." He comments: MV-HIIV

with-what-is-spirituous... The word IIV, which is the natural

order signifies simply wine, designates in the moral order, and

according to the figurative and hieroglyphic sense, a spiritual

essence, the knowledge of which has passed in all times, as

belonging to the most profound mysteries of Nature. All those who

have written of it, present the mysterious essence as a thing

whose profoundness can not be known without revelation. The

Kabbalists are accustomed to say, in speaking of this wine, that

he who drank of it would know all the secrets of the sages. I can

only offer to the read the grammatical analysis of the Hebrew

word, leaving the rest to his sagacity.

I have often spoken during the course of my notes of the root

AVN, which enjoys the universal privilege of characterizing

alternately, being and nothingness, everything and nothing...

It is evident that this root, emerging from the deepest abysses

of nature, rises toward being or fall toward nothingness,

proportionally, as the two mother vowels AV, enlighten or obscure

it. From its very principle, it suffices to materialize or to

spiritualize the convertible sign Vav, in order to fix its

expression upon objects genuine or false. Thus one sees it in

AVN, virtue, strength, valor, and in AVN, vice, vanity,

cowardice, in IVN the generative faculty of Nature; in IVN the

clay of the earth.

In the word here referred to, the two vowels are not only

enlightened by replaced by the sign of potential manifestation

Yod, image of intellectual duration. This sign being doubled

constitutes, among the Chaldeans, one of the proper names of the

divinity. United to the final sign Vav, it seems, if I can so

express it, to offer the very body of that which is incorporeal.

It is a spiritual essence which many peoples and particularly the

Egyptians, have considered under the emblem of light. Thus, for

example, one finds in the Coptic [word] light or torch. It is in

conceiving this essence under the form of spirit, that those same

peoples, choosing for it an emblem more within the reach of the

vulgar, have taken for its physical envelope wine, that liquor so

vaunted in all the ancient mysteries because of the spirit which

it contains and of which it was the symbol. This is the origin of

these words which, coming from the same root appears so different

in signification: AVN being and IIV wine, of which the Greek

analogous offer the same phenonenon [Greek word] being and [Greek

word], wine.

...it is by an almost inevitable consequence of this double sense

attached to the word IIV, that the cosmogonic personage call

[Greek word], Dionysus, by the Greek, has finally designated for

the vulgar, only the god of wine, after having been the emblem of

spiritual light; and that the same word which we use has become

such, only as a result of the same degradation of the sense which

was attached to it, a degradation always coincident with the

hardening of the mother vowel: for, from the word IIN, is formed

the Teutoic wein, the Latin "vinum", and the French vin. [The

Hebrew Tongue Restored, p. 264-265]

Cario Suares observes: "Noah transmutes downward his eesh

(AISH, 311) quality of fire by becoming eesh (husband) to Adamah

[ADAMH, 50] (the earth). The earth reproduces this fire as wine

(the wine as symbol expressed that fact, as the Qabalah well

knows). Genesis 9:21. The strange fruit of the nuptials between

eesh (as man-fire) and Adamah is yeen (IIN)... this yeen is a

sort of tornado in which anything can happen. The English word

wine is the Hebrew word scarcely modified, so also is the Latin

(incidentally, it is not generally realized how may of our words

derive from, or are, the Hebrew ones). This verse exemplifies the

fact that the symbols of blood and wine belong to the same

category. Having drunk, Noah-as is expected if his name NH, is

understood-loses his Adamaic quality and sinks unto an unevolved

state. The relationship between him and Adamah is all to Adamah s

advantage. Noah s consciousness now lapses into the

unconsciousness of undifferentiated cosmic life and uncovers

the true significance of this Noah whose numbers reveal that he

is a life not yet entered into the process of evolution (he falls

asleep with his genitals uncovered). [The Cipher of Genesis, p.

147]

LKK lekakh. so, thus. [Sepher Yetzirah 1:7]

LIL layil, leyil. night (literally, a twist away from light). A

variant of LILH (75). Said in Genesis to be God s own name for

ChShK khoshek, darkness. The symbolism of Key 15, which

corresponds to Ayin and 70, is a representation of darkness. And

it is a picture of the dark night of the soul, and of the

adversity [rest of text missing]

ADNIH Adonijah. "Lord (i.e. worshiper) of Jah. [1 Kings 1:5]:

(Who said "I will be king") Jah is a divine name attributed to

MIK Mik. 42nd name of Shemhamphorash, short form of Michael,

associated with the 6th quinance of Aquarius. see 550, 101.

GVG VMGVG Gog ve-Magog. A name given to a race or people

inhabiting some part of the northern region. Gog is used in [1

Chronicles 5:4]; Magog appears in Genesis 10:2]. The names "Gog

and Magog", only appear together in the Greek of the apocalypse

of John [Greek word], where they are used as symbolic terms for

the world as hostile to God s people and kingdom. In [Revelations

20:8] "And [the Adversary] will go forth to deceive those nations

which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to

assemble them together for war; whose number is as the sand of

the sea."

Fabre D'Olivet renders Magog as "elasticity", or "elastic

stretching power." He comments: "The root of GVH, which expresses

a movement being opposed to itself, indicates in the word GVG an

extension continued, elastic, pushed to its utmost limits. this

word governed by the sign of exterior action Mem, characterizes

that faculty of matter, by which it is extended and lengthened,

without there being any solution of continuity." [Hebrew Tongue

Restored p. 273-274]

SVBB sobob. circle, ring, circumference.

SVD sode. a council, assembly; secret; to plaster. Mathers, in

INH yonah. a dove, a pigeon. Used figuratively as a metaphor for

sexual warmth, a marked characteristic of doves. One of the birds

sacred to Venus (and is closely connected with Saturn). Refers to

the reproductive functions of Venus, and creative imagination.

see 70, 400, 406, 601, 378, 486, 700, 801 Greek.

Also a symbol of Jonah, who was swallowed by the great fish

(Nun). A symbol of Israel in scripture, and the form that the

Holy Spirit took at Jesus baptism my John. Also spelled INH, so

that contain 3 letters used in the spelling of IHVH, combined

with Nun, the Fish. [PFC on D.D. Bryant]

Matthew 12:39: "But he answered and said unto them, an evil and

adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall be no

sign given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40. For as

Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale s belly, so

shall the son of man be three days and three nights in the heart

of the earth." See also Matthew 16:14, Luke 11:29. INH = Virgo

(Yod) +Taurus (Vav) > Scorpio (Nun) > Aries (Heh) . see 59.

Also cited by Fabre D'Olivet in Genesis 8:8: "Then he sent forth

a dove from the ark, to see if the waters had abated from, the

face of the ground." He renders the verse: "And he sent forth

Ionah (plastic forces of nature, brooding dove) from him, to see

if the waters were lightened from off the face of the

?Adamicement.?"

He comments: "HIVNH Ionah.... Here again is an emblem famous in

ancient cosmogonies; emblem, that the Greek and Latin

interpreters have again presented under the least of its

characteristics; under that of a dove. It is indeed true that the

Hebrew word IVNH, signifies a dove, but it is in the same manner

that the word ORB [272], signifies a raven; that is to say, that

the names of these two birds have been given them, in a

restricted sense, in consequence of the physical or moral

analogues which have been imagined between the primitive

signification attached to the words ORB and IVNH, and the

apparent qualities of the raven and the dove. The darkness of

Ereb, its sadness, the avidity with which it is believed that it

devours the beings which fall into its pale, could they be better

characterized than by a dark and voracious bird such as the

raven? The whiteness of the dove on the contrary, its gentleness,

its inclination to love, did not these qualities suggest it as an

emblem of the generative faculty, the plastic force of Nature? It

is well know that the dove was the symbol of Semiramis, of

Derceto, of Mylitta, of Aphrodite, and of all the allegorical

personages to whom the ancients attributed the generative

faculty, represented by this bird. This emblem appears to have

been known from most ancient times, by the Brahmans, by the

Chaldeans, and even by the Sabaean priest of Arabia. It is known

that the time when Mohammed entered victorious into Mecca, he

cause an image of the dove, sculptured in the temple of that

celebrated city, to be broken by the hands of Ali. In short, if

one open any ancient book treating of religious mysteries, he

will find therein traces of the veneration of the peoples for the

dove. Assyria was particularly characterized by the bird and it

can be inferred form a passage in [Isaiah 20:6] that it was an

ensign for the Assyrians...

It is evident that the name of Ionia, that famous country claimed

equally be Europe and Asia, comes from the same source as the

word IVNH. The Chaladic and Hebrew IVN, IVNI, or IVNAI, always

designate Greece, or that which belongs to her: these are the

Greek analogues; [Greek words]. For, if we examining Greece

concerning the inner meaning of the name which she gives herself,

we shall find that she attaches to the word [Greek word], all

ideas of all ideas of softness, sweetness and amorous languor,

which we attach to that of the dove; if we go further and explore

in Greek itself the root of this word, we shall see that this

root [Greek word], contains in that tongue, the ideas of

cultivated, fertile land; of productive soil; of existing being

in general; of the violet flower consecrated to Juno, etc.

Now what do we find in the Hebrew root IVN? We find, in general

the idea of a thing indeterminate, soft, sweet, easy to receive

all forms, and in particular, a clayey, ductile. If, following

our method, we proceed to the hieroglyphic sense, and if we

examine the signs of which this root is composed, we shall easily

find in IVN, the mysterious root AVI, where the sign of

manifestation Yod, has replaced the sign of power Aleph: so that,

if the root AVN designates indefinite being, the root IVN will

designate the same being passing from power into action.

...IVNH expresses the generative faculty of nature. We shall see

that in Hebrew, the compound word ABIVNH, signifies desire of

amorous pleasures; and that one understands by the words IVNH

OLM, a song, tender, melodious and capable of inspiring love.

...Ionia, from which we have imbibed all that we have imbibed all

that we have which is delightful i art and brilliant in

knowledge, is attached on side to the mysteries dove of Moses, so

that of Semiramis; and loses itself on the other, in that sacred

emblem called Yoni by the Brahmans; Yng, by the Chinese Tao-teh,

over which it is necessary that I draw an impenetrable veil."

ChSD Chesed. Mercy, beneficence. 4th Sephirah. The primary

meanings of Chesed are: eager, earnest desire, and ardor or zeal

toward anything. Also kindness, love, good-will, pity and

compassion. The measuring, arresting or receptacular

Intelligence. A reservoir of Limitless power and substance of

all things needful both spiritual and material. It rises like a

boundary to receive the emanation of the Higher Intelligences

which are sent down to it. The grade of Chasidim, Masters of

compassion and healers which is the consciousness of exempt adept

(see 48, 82, 194, 178, 528, 122).

Chesed is called Gedulah, [GDVLH], Majesty or Magnificence.

Chesed is known also as the Measuring Intelligence, for it is the

basis of all adjustment, measurement, order and adaptation.

The basis of all adjustment and regulation is memory. The whole

course of evolution is an orderly development made possible

because the Universal Life has perfect memory. Every point of

manifested Being is a focus of perfect memory. The One Life

remembers perfectly all that it is in itself, and every event in

the series of its self-expressions. Nothing is forgotten.

Nothing is beyond recall. Human memory is one phase of this

cosmic record.

Chesed is the Sphere of Tzedek, or Jupiter. Jupiter is the

"sky-father" who was the ancient personification of the principle

of Beneficent Regulation.

The letters of the word form part of the doctrines of the Grade

of Exempt Adept. 1. The Chariot, Key 7 (Cheth): The I am does

nothing, for the I Am is the One Identity called God and God is

changeless. That One Identity is the witness of activity, but is

not itself modified or altered by the transformations that go on

around it. All change, all modification, is in the field of

energy with revolves around the I Am. The self does nothing. It

never had done anything. It is simply the witness of the panorama

of the transformations proceeding from its own mysterious power.

2. Temperance, Key 14 (Samekh): All circumstances are gifts from

the Almighty. Personality is the instrument of the One Self.

Every detail of our daily experience is a good gift from the One

Source. There can be no evil gift form the one giver of all good.

3. The Empress, Key 3 (Daleth): To know that all circumstances

are gifts from the one identity is to free subconsciousness from

every erroneous image of terror, lack, hatred; sorrow, or

mistrust. Whatever external appearances may be, they are

invariably veils of manifestation for the divine beneficence.

hope, courage, happiness and joy are fruits of the spirit, the

expression of accurate measurement of the facts of experience."

[Paul Case: True and Invisible Rosicrucian Order (4th), pp.. 418-

419.] see 178.

BSVD ba-sod. in the secret; in the magical language. This word

has special reference to the ninth Sephirah, as well as to

Chesed. It is connected with the intelligent direction of the

force which is concentrated in Yesod. In human personality, this

is the reproductive force whereby the race is perpetuated. Note

that one of the paths proceeding from Chesed is Yod, which is

symbolized by Key 9, the number of Yesod. Key 9 pictures that

which is the true Foundation or Basis (Yesod) of all human

activity; and the wise man it pictures, besides being a

personification of the powers and beneficence of Chesed, is also

one who is "in the secret" of intelligent direction of the secret

force behind reproduction. Connected with the intelligent

direction of the reproductive force concentrated in Yesod. Key 9

pictures a wise man "in the secret" of this force.

IVD HI VIV HI Yod-hi-vav-hi. Special spelling of IHVH in the

Archetypal world, Atziluth, related to the 4 of Wands. According

to Ibnezra, their value as 72 refers to the 72 letters of

Shemhamphorash, the holy name of God. The divided name consists

of 72 triliteral names, which by adding IH or AL give 72 angels.

see 777 [columns CXXIX, CXXX, CXXXI and CXXXII] and Kabbalah

unveiled, p.171. see also 26, 45

OB ob, darkness, dark cloud, cloud mass; thicket, bag, wrapper.

This word is used to indicate the "secret nature of the

archetypal world" associated with the suit of Wands. To our

intellectual consciousness this highest plane of the Life-power's

activity is wrapped in clouds and darkness. Note that Jupiter

(and also Jehovah) is a deity connected with cloud and storm.

(See Key 10, which carries the influence of Chesed down to

Netzach). Also OB, threshold, sill; beam and as an adjective,

thick, dense. see 965.

BKN bawkan. in, so, thus, then; in such a way; and so;

Ones, who are "in the secret."

Greek

Kana (Gr). Cana, scene of Jesus 1st Miracle. Basically, "A reed

used for measuring," connects with Chesed as the Measuring

Intelligence. Measurement is suggested in the story of the

miracle. See "place of reeds" 155.

heh aletheia (Gr). the truth. see 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 81,

90. [John14:6] "Jesus says to him "I am the way, the truth, and

the life. No man comes to the Father, except by me."

Latin

Natron. Mineral alkali; nitre.

vacuum (Lt). empty, void, free, clear. Related to the 4 of Wands

in the apparent emptiness of the archetypal world in periods

between cycles of manifestation. It is connected with the Eternal

Supply aspect of Chesed. In Atziluth this source of supply, in

relation to the planes below, seems to be without form and

sterile, yet all riches, all beneficence, have their origin in

these archetypal principles (Sanskrit Pralaya).

Abiegnus. "of fir-wood". It is the name of the Rosicrucian

"mountain of initiation." Kundalini (the Serpent-fire) rises

through the seven interior stars or spinal centers to energize

the pineal gland (which is shaped like a fir-cone), Mons

Abiegnus, "Mountain of Fir-wood". Represents the Mystical ascent

in consciousness, leading to a state of exaltation

(illumination), often compared to intoxication [Among the Greeks

the Fir tree was among the symbols of Dionysus, God of the vine.

The Thyrsus, a staff used in the Dionysian Mysteries, was twined

with ivy, and surmounted by a pine-cone.] It is an instance of

the operation of Divine Grace. Like the Hermetic caduceus, it

refers to the same ascent of Kundalini through the spinal centers

which awakens the organ of higher vision. Christ is the true

vine", The miracle of Cana changed water into wine, to promote

joy at a marriage-feast. Wine is used in the Eucharist, as the

material base for a true alchemical transmutation. Rosicrucian,

Qabalistic and Alchemical literature is replete with symbols

relating to the vine and its fruit. see 125, 129, 668, 811, 1035,

182.

verbum (Lt). word. The Latin equivalent for the Greek Logos.

Verbum stands for the formative power of the Creative Idea.

Venus. Goddess of Love and desire, corresponding to the Greek

[word], and Key 3, The Empress in Tarot. A most important key to

the entire alchemical great work is the power of creative

imagination. see 993 (Greek). 434, 3, 1035.

rubeum (Latin). red. The color of Mars. Part of a phrase. see 406

naturae (Latin). of nature. Part of a phrase. see 132 (Latin),

156 (Latin).

balsamum (Latin) balsam. Concerning the alchemical dragon, or

serpent-power, it is said in The Book of Lambspring "In the hour

of his death his venom becomes the great medicine. He quickly

consumes his venom, for he devours his poisonous tail. All this

is performed on his own body, from which flows forth glorious

balm, with all its miraculous virtues. Here do all the sages

loudly rejoice." [Hermetic Museum I, p.286]. Case: Balsamum = 72

= Venus = verbum. see 37 (Latin).

73 (prime)

The combined numerical values of Mercury (37), Sulphur (7), and

salt (29). An intimation that the powers of Mercury and Salt are

combined in Sulphur.

ChKMH Chokmah. Wisdom, 2nd Sephirah; Wise woman. Corresponds to

Yod in IHVH. The sphere of the zodiac or sphere of fixed stars

(Masloth). Continuation in the sense carrying the onward or

extending the initial impulse symbolized by 1 (Kether). Seat of

Chaih, the Life-force. Contains the unmanifested aspects of the

3rd and 6th Sephiroth. The dual (Masculine-Feminine) potency

which brings the whole Tree of Life into manifestation. Sulphur

is attributed to Chokmah in the book AESCH METZAREPH (see 15, 7,

693, 168, 536).

"1. (The Chariot, Cheth) the Magic of Light is the practical

application of the science of Reality. A Magus is not a

mountebank, nor a producer of illusions, nor a caster of glamour.

He has mastered the sphinxes of sensation by the invisible reins

of his mind. He has perfected himself in the art of occult

speech, so that he transmits, from higher planes to lower, the

creative Word of the One identity. His path of life is one with

the highway of the stars. His thought and word embody the truth

of Reality as opposed to the lie of appearances.

2. (The Wheel of Fortune, Kaph) Popular opinion conceives Magic

to be a method of circumventing the law, of going against

Nature. The contrary is true. Many works of Magic are exceptions

to the law of averages that dominates the average man and the

kingdoms of life below him, but these words are exceptions only

in the sense that they go beyond the usual phenomena of common

experience. A Magus completes the circle of life expression and

ascends to the position of unity with the One Reality. His works

never contradict the Law, nor do they destroy it. Always they are

fulfillments.

3. (The Hanged Man, Mem) The Magic of Light correctly estimates

the place of human personality in the Cosmic order and thus

reverses the opinions of the mass humanity. The Magus is not

driven by the false will to power, which is really a feeling of

lack of power. He is animated by the will to serve, based on his

immediate perception of all power. His one concern is the wise

distribution of the limitless riches at his disposal. To the

world of ignorant men he seems to sacrifice himself, because he

strives for none of the baubles they hold dear. To himself

nothing that he does wears the aspect of sacrifice. All of his

acts are works of purest joy.

4. (The Emperor, Heh) A Magus sees eye to eye with the Ancient of

the Ancient Ones. he has "restored the Creator to his throne."

The Magic of Light is the exercise of the Constitution

Intelligence, which frames the universe." [Paul Case, True and

invisible Rosicrucian Order, p. 292-293]

ABIKM Abikam thy (your) father. [Isaiah 51:2] A reference to

Abraham, also a link between Chokmah and AB Ab, Father. Another

name for the number 2.

GML Letter-name Gimel. Camel. In one sense, the scroll of the

High Priestess is the record of past events which becomes the

basis of future recompense. What is on the scroll therefore

corresponds to what Hindu philosophy calls the Samskaras or

impressions which become the "seeds of Karma." These impressions

are the "load" carried by the "camel" on its journey from East,

the plane of causation, to West, the plane of manifestation.

Gimel, the camel stands for the working power whereby all we do

is accomplished and whereby all that is done to us is

accomplished. Also the universal substance of subconsciousness

which unites all things through memory. The High Priestess

represents the Lesser Chokmah or feminine aspect of the Cosmic

Wisdom. Like the Gnostic Sophia, she stands for the perfect self-

recollection and self-knowledge of the one being.

The scroll of cosmic memory is read by the Magus through

equilibrated faith by works [L], dependence on the One Life [M],

and receptivity to Wisdom from above [G].

D.D. Bryant: "It would not be at all difficult, if you understood

nature and her wonderful works, to perform the brilliant feat,

the reduction of argent vive [living silver] to philosophical

mercury, as out ancient breather did, but now, as Norton hints,

you need not soil your hands, unless curious to do so. If you

watch early, for Diana at her bath in the morning, before her

maidens have awakened, or late in the evening, after they have

retired, you may easily take her off guard, but be sure to put a

gag in her mouth, lest she cry aloud and you are foiled in your

attempt." Dr Case comments: ["Diana is Luna = GML = 73 =ChKMH. In

the Tarot she is the High Priestess. She must be taken early in

the morning before her maidens, i.e. attendant servants, have

awakened, or in the evening, when they have retired. She is the

subjective mind, which is especially susceptible to suggestion at

the moment between sleep and awakening, or between waking and

sleeping. See Leyland's Mystic Will. The gag in her mouth is a

reference to the overcoming of habitual states of the subjective

mind which tend to oppose counter-suggestions"]

GML gamal (verb). to do, to show, to cause to, to deal

adequately with; to bring to an end or limit; to ripen, to become

ripe; to give according to desert; to reward, to recompense, to

benefit. In human thinking, this relates to the future inasmuch

as we think of the end, or ripening, of the cosmic process as

being something ahead of us in time.

ChSH khasah. to seek protection, to take refuge, to trust. To

take refuge in Wisdom is the way of the true sage.

IVM ThVB yom tob. a day of feast; literally: "day of good." "The

camel which bears rich merchandise of the Life-power s knowledge

of itself brings us the treasure of divine wisdom. In that wisdom

we may put our trust. So the Hierophant is shown sitting at the

gate of a sanctuary. Every day is a feast day, a day of good, for

he who partakes of this wisdom. Without wisdom there is no good;

with it all is good, and all is peace." [Gematria of the Letter-

Names].

KChMH kachmah. "The power of what?" designates the Power of

Formation. Power or substance, (KCh) of Mah (MH). Kachmah is a

term associated with world of formation, Yetzirah. Kachmah is a

power whose essential nature is open to question, or unknown. Yet

not altogether unknown, because Mah is furthermore the secret

name of the world of formation. Mah (MH) adds to 45, which is

also the number of Adam (ADM) man. Qabalists understand that this

unknown power which is rooted in the Wisdom of Chokmah is also a

power distinctly human. The object of quest in occult science is

the true nature of man. In the knowledge of this true nature lays

the secret of the Master Jesus. Alchemically Sulphur (attributed

to Chokmah) is the "power of Formation" because it is inherent in

the Life-force. The universal Sulphur is said to be the light

from which all particular Sulphurs proceed. "For the soule the

bodie form doth take-for soule is forme, and doth the bodie make"

[Spencer]

KABN ka-ehben. "as (or like) a stone." The successful completion

of the Great Work combines the powers of Sulphur, Mercury and

Salt into the Stone of the Wise (wise is Wisdom or Chokmah). see

53.

NBIAI nebbiai. prophetic. a logical consequence of possessing

the "stone of the wise".

BLIAL Belial. Demon-king of Hod and Night Demon of 2nd (Mercury)

decanate Aquarius. Godwin also gives: Qlippoth of Ain Soph.

BNIHV Benaiah. Benaiah [2 Samuel 23:20] "And Benaiah the son of

Jehoiada, a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many nobel acts,

slew two lionlike men of Moab. He went down also and slew a lion

in the a pit on a snowy day." The prologue to the Zohar [I:6A, p.

25] Comments: ";Benaiah the son of Jehoiada (i.e. son of God,

son of knowing God) contains an allusion to wisdom, And is a

symbolic appellation which influences its bearer." Because BNIHV

contains BN = son = 52, an appellation of Tiphareth, combined

with IHV Yaho, the name celebrated in Sepher Yetzirah, in

connection with the manifestation of the six directions. IHV = 21

= AHIH, the Kether divine name. 52 + 21 = 73 = ChKMH, Wisdom.

Gawlil GLIL. Galilee, "the rolling sun" [Inman]; District in

northern Palestine where Jesus performed the marriage miracle at

Cana. [Joshua 20:7] "And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in

Mount Naphtali (Virgo, 570)." see 86 (Greek)

charitas (Lt). charity (see secret symbols page 51). Practical

wisdom invariably express itself in words of charitable service,

and also in that mental attitude of acceptance mentioned by

Lincoln: "Charity for all, Malice toward none."

columbia alba (Lt). White dove. This is from "The Chemical

Marriage of Christian Rosenkreutz," and occurs also in other

alchemical works. Note the symbolism on the shield of Venus in

the Tarot.

interna (Latin) inner. A word describing the true source of

reality, the "Inner Light". see 122, 49 (Latin); 620, 397.

vista (Lt). visit. Part of the phrase in Secret Symbols (p. 17)

"Visit the interior of the earth, by rectifying you shall find

the hidden stone." see 570.

favonio (Latin). west, west-wind. The direction of Jupiter, and

of manifestation on the Cube of Space. Part of the Rosicrucian

saying: "From east to west and everywhere, the good root of David

reigns victorious." see 509 (Lt), 72, 20.

nigror (Lt). blackness. "The sage says that a wild beast is in

the forest, whose skin is of [text missing]

74 (2*37)

LMD Letter name Lamed ox-goad; to teach, instruct, to train.

Derived from a verb spelled the same way signifying primarily "to

beat with a rod," hence, "to discipline, to train, to teach." As

a noun limmud, is used in Isaiah 50:4 to designate prophets, and

applies particularly to the Chasidim.

Thomas Troward writes: "... It is impossible for a being capable

of thus partaking of the infinite life of the origination spirit

to be a mere piece of mechanism, mechanically incapable of moving

in more than one direction; for he is to reproduce in his

individuality that power of origination and initiative which must

be the very essence of the creative spirit's recognition of

itself he must possess a corresponding liberty of choice. As to

the way in which he will use his powers; and if he chooses

wrongly and the inevitable law of cause and effect must produce

the natural consequences of his choice." [Bible Mystery and Bible

Meaning, p. 256] But do not confound liberty of choice with

"personal" free-will. Remember "The freer the will, the less the

choice; in every circumstance there can be only one perfect

course of action. that is, if he is limited by imperfect

knowledge or perception of reality.

LMD lahmed. as a verb: to learn, study, to exercise in; to be

accustomed.

DIIN diin. leader, chief, judge. The Life-power (Aleph: Ox) rules

all creatures.

SBIB Sabeeb. a circle, orbit, circuit, the place round about,

environs. The instruction of the one teacher is like a Goad

(Lamed) which guides one through the long circuit of existence

until one returns to union with God. The course traced by a

moving body, such as a wheel, hence related to Key 11, the

consequence of Key 10. The idea behind the word is the completion

of a cycle of activity. In every circle, any point on the

circumference may be both beginning and end. This is the idea

behind Karma-the idea that any force sent out returns eventually

to its point of origin. A fundamental law of manifestation,

operative throughout the universe. [Paul Case: "Circuitous

course, a reference to that form of meditation in which the mind

makes a circuit around a central idea."]

OD ade. All the way, constantly; the veiled or hidden time;

eternity. The ox-goad of Lamed guides man all the way to the

ultimate goal. As a preposition and conjunction: to, unto, up to,

as far as; till, until, during, while, while yet; instead of;

also; ere. OD implies a passing, progress, in space; also

duration in time. Hence, perpetual time, eternity. Suggest also

the formulation of some problem, based on appearances (Ayin) and

the solution of that problem by an acto of creative imagination

(Daleth). The idea of definite limit is suggested by the meanings

of OD as a preposition and a conjunction. The scales of Justice

imply the notion of comparison. Ayin and Daleth represent the

influences of Saturn (Ayin), which is exalted in Libra, and of

Venus (Daleth), Libra's ruler. In another sense OD, is the astral

light representing duration, everlastingness, eternity. It is

from IDH, to pass over, to come upon, to go on, to continue. It

has a 2nd meaning: to put on, to adorn oneself, and this agrees

with the deeper meaning of OD as the universal agent. "Eternity

(which must be taken into account if we are to arrive at any

adequate conception of Justice)" [Gematria of the Letter-names]

OD ade. witness, testimony, evidence; menstruation (unsure if

this is correct).

According to Fabre D'Olivet: "OD. The sign of material sense,

contracted with the root AD, symbol of relative unity, image of

every emanation and every division, constitutes a very important

root, which, heiroglypically, develops the idea of time, and of

all things temporal, setient, transitory. Symbolically and

figuratively it is worldly voluptuousness, sensual pleasure in

opposition to spiritual pleasure; in a more restricted sense,

every limited period, every periodic return.

The Arabic [word], which is related in general, to the radical

sense of the Hebrew, signifies in particular, to count, number,

calculate, etc.; the word [Arabic word], the time which follows

the actual time; tomorrow.

OD The actual time; a fixed point in time or space expressed by

the relations to, until, near: a same state continued, a temporal

duration, expressed in like manner by, now, while, still; a

periodic return as a month; a thing constant, certain, evident,

palpable, by which one can give testimony; a witness. [The Hebrew

Tongue Restored, p. 414]

DKN dikkane. this, the same, this specifically. An Aramaic

demonstrative pronoun suggesting particular identity. It has the

connotation of exact and specific identification. This, and no

other. Thus it implies definite knowledge.

HGIVN higgawyon. meditation, intention, musing, device; thought,

contemplation, resounding music (later Hebrew), reading,

recitation of text, logic-one of the 7 liberal arts. Meditation

is the device through which we are guided to the divine

intention. Meditation requires us to use the goad of attention to

hold the mind to the central idea. see 491, 67 [Paul Case has

the following note in the margin: "gentle murmur, solemn sound.

[Psalm 49:3] see 724" In this verse, ("My mouth will speak words

of wisdom; the utterance from my heart will give understanding.")

"and-utterance-of" is spelled VHGVTh [John Kohlenberger, The

Interlinear NIV Old Testament]

HDSH Hadassh. Myrtle plant (sacred to Venus). bride; Esther's

former name. Esther is the regular Syrian form of the name

Ishtar, the Babylonian Goddess corresponding to Astarte, and

associated in Babylonian astrology with Venus. Hadassah, is the

Hebrew translation of the Babylonian Hadashatu, "bride," used as

a title for Ishtar. The significance of "Myrtle," points to the

Venusian correspondence, but may be an occult "blind." The theme

of the story of Esther, is the triumph of Justice over injustice.

But the deeper meaning concerns Babylonian traditions of conflict

between the Gods of the Elamites and Babylon. These traditions

veil profound doctrines of ageless wisdom. Ayin and Daleth

moreover, is the very Venus who is the "Bride", hadashatu, or

hadassah. see 80.

"The central figure if Key 3 in Tarot is Venus, named Aphrodite

by the Greeks, who also knew her as Astarate, the same as the

Babylonian Ishtar, the OShThRTh, Ashtoreth of the Old Testament.

In this connection it is interesting to note that the value of

the Greek name, [Greek word] is 910, or 13x70, while the value of

OShThRTh is 1370. Very often we come across little indication

like this which show that the wisdom of the eastern world was by

no means lost when it was transferred to Europe through Greek. As

the New Testament shows, the number-letter system of the Hebrews

and Babylonians was adopted by the Gnostics and adapted to the

requirements of Greek.

In the Old Testament, the whole book of Esther is a mine of

information about the Semitic conceptions of the Great Mother.

The well-known orientalist, A.H. Sayce says: 'Ishtar appears as

Esher in the Book of Esther, where Mordecia, it may be noted, is

a derivation from Merodach ('the God'). Note that in this Book

Esther is the second Queen. The first is Vashti, 'The Beautiful

One', who refuses to come forth at the time of the feast, when

the common people were assembled at Shushan. Vashti is the high

Priestess in Tarot, for she is the hidden one who cannot be drawn

forth for display amongst the multitude of ordinary thoughts and

perceptions (common people). Esther is the Empress, the 'Starry

One'. The scene of the story is laid in Shushan (ShVShN), and the

place-name is ordinarily translated 'Lily'. But the word Shushan,

and its feminine equivalent Sushanah (ShVshNH), really signifies

'rose', and is so translated in many Qabalistic books. Roses, it

will be remembered, are sacred to Aphrodite. Another plant scared

to Venus. Furthermore, HDSH is the number 74, and this is the

number of LMD, Lamed, the ox-goad, that Hebrew letter which

corresponds to Libra, ruled by Venus, and represented in Tarot by

the figure of justice. In the story of Esther, Ahasuerus is the

unmanifest self, and Mordecai (Marduk or Merodach) is the

manifest self. Haman signifies the illusion of separate

personality which demands reverence for itself. The Jews are the

higher qualities, which were scattered through the lower nature.

Such is the psychological interpretation. There are many other

occult meanings in this book, which is recognized by all Qabalist

as being packed with esotericism." [Paul Case: Classics of

Ageless Wisdom, 1931, pp. 23-24]

ISD yawsad. laws; to set, place, to found, to appoint; to set

laws, to ordain. This verb is the root of yesod. As a noun ISD,

foundation, base, in principle, or beginning. Also ISD, yesud;

beginning commencement. [Ezra 7:9] "For on the first month they

began to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth

month they came to Jerusalem, according to the hand of God which

had been good to them."

NKD neked. progeny, hence descendent, grandson. [Genesis 21:23]:

"So now, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely

with me, or with my son, or with my posterity, but as I have

dealt with you kindly, you will do the same with me and the land

in which you have sojourned."

GIHVN gihon. "a stream"; The name of the second river of Eden,

associated with water. Variant spelling, according to Godwin. see

77, 724.

Greek/Latin

Ai diathekai (Gr). The covenants, divine agreements [Romans 9:4].

In the passage cited it is coupled with "Legislation." This makes

the connection with Key 11 perfectly clear.

Adytum. Sanctuary. holy or holies. The "house of God" in any

temple. In the human brain, it is the organ through which

established contact with the One identity. The functioning of

this center comes about when the ego in Tiphareth, links up with

the volitional power in Geburah. Lamed carries of influence of

Mezla [MZLA], specialized a Justice [DIN], between the 2

Sephiroth (see 126, 825, 72 Abiegnus).

Angus Dei (Lt). Lamb of God. This is the "Lamb" clearly indicated

by the initials which are used in the Fama to designate the

Founder (compare ISD) of the Rosicrucian order, whose initial are

KR, Kar, Lamb. In Revelations, the Lamb is the symbol of Christ.

The lamb sits on the throne at the center of the cubical city of

the new Jerusalem. The Lamb is said to be both the temple and the

lamp of the city. The city itself is a symbol of regenerated

humanity, and of a society composed of regenerated persons. see

56, 18, 134 (Latin)

Axiomata. Axioms. This word is used in the Fama, which connects

Axiomata with eternal duration [OD], by saying "We are assured

that our Axiomata shall immovably remain until the world's end."

The axiomata where the most important item in the philosophical

library of the order. The same book says the Axiomata were the

most important item in the philosophical library of the order.

They are also declared to be "true and infallible."

Concordia. Concord, Harmony. The result of true Justice. The

path of Lamed connects the sphere of divine volition (Geburah)

with the sphere of beauty and harmony (Tiphareth) Concord is from

two Latin words meaning "same-heart", con-cord.

Rota Jehovah. Letters on Key 10.

Dei Gloria (Lt). The Glory of God. Part of the Rosicrucian motto:

"The Untouchable Glory of God." see 56. The "glory" is the "lamb"

as well as the "adytum" "Note the numbering of Dei Gloria. Dei is

18, which corresponds to the Hebrew ChI, Gloria is 56 or 6 less

than Sophia... 18 and 56 add to 74, which is the value of LMD,

but as you can see from Rota, the power of the Intact Virgin, who

is also Sophia, or Wisdom, is in Rota represented by the woman in

Justice, and she is both the Bride and the Queen, and thus she is

also AIMA, MAIH, ISIS, EVE, and all the rest of the host of Anima

figures, including the Window and Venus. [Commentary 36th

Communication 2/23/48] see 126, 136 (Latin)

matrix (Lt). matrix, foundation. see 64, 82, 156

mortem (Lt). Death. The mysteries have to do with the overcoming

of death. Part of a phrase in Secret Symbols. see 717

ILLH yelawlaw. Howling, wailing, lamentation [Jephaniah 1:10].

KIMH Kimah. a Cluster; the Pleiades; the 7 stars [Job 9:9;

38:31, Amos 5:8]. Exoterically, the Pleiades. Esoterically, the

7 interior stars pictured on Key 17.

KHN kohen. Priest; one who is a conscious mediator for divinity.

see Genesis 14:18. see 657, 1667, 2879, 886

LILH lahyelawh. a twist, a spiral turn (away from the light);

Night [Genesis 1:5]. Figuratively it means adversity. see 3, 12,

21, 30, 39, 48, 57, 66, 84, 56, 79.

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "LILH, Night... The formation of the

word of demands particular attention. Refer to Radical

Vocabulary, root LA, LV and LL. It is the amalgamation of these

three roots that forms the word in question. The words naught and

knot, holding to the same root as the word night, portray very

felicitously the figurative and hieroglyphic sense attached to

the Hebrew word LILH... (p. 35).

LA This root is a symbol of the line prolonged to infinity, of

movement without term, of action whose duration is limitless:

thence, the opposed ideas of being and nothingness, which it uses

in developing the greater part of it compounds... (p. 377)

LV. Every idea of liaison, cohesion, tendency of objects toward

each other. The universal bond. The abstract line which is

conceived going from one point to another and which is

represented by the relations, oh if! oh that! would to God

that!... (p. 379)

LL. The sign of extensive movement being opposed to itself,

composes a root which gives the idea of circular movement: in the

same manner as one sees in natural philosophy, this movement

springs from two opposed forces, one drawing to the center, and

the other drawing away from it. [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.

382]

Gaskel says that night is "A symbol of potential being, or of the

cycle of life in the underworld-the planes of the quaternary,

where in the Higher Self (sun) is unapparent to the lower

consciousness." [Dictionary of All Scriptures and Myths, p. 535]

IHVDIM Yehudim. the Jews; connected with the seven interior

stars. see 1048

KNH kahnnawh. the stock (of a plant). [Psalm 80:15] "And the

vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch

word (with the prefix Vav) occurs as copied here with a large

kaph, indicating its importance. Note that the vine as the plant

includes the branches. Also KNH plant, shoot; stand ruler; KNH:

to give a name, give a title; to surname, nickname; to express by

a substitute.

GVVNI geoonay. hues, colors, complexions. The alchemical

"peacock" or auric rainbow; part of the process of the great

the Christ of Nazareth is centered in the celestial flower. From

Geheime Figuren [Secret Symbols, p. 8, subtitled "Harmonious

conception of the light of nature, form which you can deduce the

restoration and renovation of all things emblematic."] It is the

Rosicrucian adaptation of Khunrath's Christ of Glory... in the

deep understanding of Rosicrucian doctrine, the Rose is also the

soul, and in the marriage life of this union there is no

distinction between the soul and the word within the modes of

realization." [pp. XIX-XX]

KHNA kahanah. Priest [Ezra 7:1, spelt KHN] "Artaxerxes, King of

Kings, unto Erza the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of

heaven, perfect peace..." KHNA is also the name of the altar

mentioned in section 6 of St. Germain's "Most Holy Trinosophia."

It is the definite form and in the Book of Ezra it always refers

to Erza himself. Erza is OZRA (278), or the material world, [OVLM

HMVThBO]. Thus KHNA is this connection, as it refers to an altar,

obviously means salt. St. Germain (section 6) describes the altar

as yellow with "a pure flame ascending from it, having no other

substance for its alimentation than the altar itself. Letters in

black were engraved at the base of the altar." In the

Apophis (Lt). Typhon, the destroyer. Symbolized by the uplifted

arms of the Child (Horus) in Key 20. A personification in Egypt

mythology of the destructive principle. His mother is Isis and

his father Osiris. The Child represents the rebirth which results

Mezla (78).

OZ oz. strength, power, might; courage, boldness. As an

adjective Ayz, meaning: strong, mighty, fierce, cruel; bright (of

ZIDVN zidon, zaydon. overflowing [Psalm 124:5] Note that in the

Hebrew text it is (H)ZIDVNIM which is plural (adjective) to match

HMIM which precedes it. Judge Troward, commenting on Psalm 124

days: "This Psalm shows that the source of power in the

recognition that God is on our side. 'if God be for us, who can

be against us?' (Ruth VIII, 31; Psalm 118:6; 13A.50:8 and 9). We

get God on our side by putting ourselves on the side of God,

1.8., we work from the principle of interior (divine) power,

realizing that this primary action always takes place on the

interior plane and assuming. The love and intelligence and

impersonality of God, both as our starting point and as the

continuous causa causans at every moment. 'Our help is the name

of the Lord-how can a name help? 'The name of the Lord is a

strong tower: The righteous runneth into it and is safe (Proverbs

18:10). The answer is that this name is IHVH." Paul Case:

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "GIHVN Gihon.. (from the) root GH. This

root is employed here in the intensive verbal from which the

augmenatative syllable VN...(p. 80) GH... The organic sign

united... to that of manifestation (Heh), constitutes a root

which becomes the symbol of every organization. This root which

possesses the same faculties of extension and aggrandizement that

we have observed in the root GA, contains ideas apparently

opposed to envelopment and development according to the point of

view under which one considers the organization. [The Hebrew

Tongue Restored, p. 311-312]

OZ eyz. goat, goat hair. Relates to Capricorn and Saturn.

AVLM Aulawm. The vestibule or entrance hall to the temple.

MGDL megidahl. tower, turret, elevated stage, pulpit, raised

garden bed; cupboard; castle, lighthouse; rook (in chess).

Connected with the tower of Babel [Genesis 11:4] "and a tower

false will-power, struck by lighting as in Key 16. see 988.

Latin

H.C. (Lt). (Mystic name of) Fas Ducit "(Divine) Law or Command

Draws (or leads) Him."

A rectangle with a:

The perimeter, 2 diagonals, horizontal and vertical dividing

lines add to 77.

moralls (Lt). moral. The basis of occult morality is faithful

obedience to the actual laws of God, rather than outward

adherence to the customs, taboos, or conventions of a particular

historical period or those accepted by some group of persons (see

193, 115 Latin).

vivum (Lt). As spelled in the phrase "Living silver." see 166, 89

Latin.

78 (2*3*19) 12 = 78

78 is the sum of the numbers from 1 to 12, so that 78 stands for

the completion of the Great Work with its 12 "labors," of

Hercules. (Great Work L15)

3*26 or the 3 fold extension of IHVH.

Beth/Yod. Mercury in Virgo.

MZLA mezla. to drip, to flow down in drops; holy influence,

whirling, radiant energy (which descends from Chokmah). Divine

Grace. The conscious energy that flows through all things. Mezla

is a whirling force, and in its physical expression is the

spiraling electro-magnetic energy, the substance from which the

atoms of the physical universe are created, via electrons and

protons. The 3 simultaneous projections of this force from Kether

are to Chokmah (via Aleph), Binah (via Beth), and Tiphareth (via

Gimel). The 3 worlds of emanation proceeding from Atziluth, which

is the Limitless Light as spiritual fire, the support of all that

is in manifestation. see 483, 620, 111, 507, 578, 876, 536.

"Now, consider the influence that flows through the Tree of Life.

It is named MZLA, Mezla, and this word is 78, the sum of the

numbers from 1 to 12. For this reason there are 78 Tarot Keys.

Now, 78 is by reduction 15, and this is the number of IH, Jah,

which is the name of Chokmah, the Sphere of the Zodiac which is

represented by the number 12; and 15 is by reduction 6, the

number of Vav, and also the number of Tiphareth. For without the

Logos in Tiphareth, nothing can come into manifestation.

[Commentary-14th Communication 6/2/47]

LChM lechem. bread, food, a feast. The host or body of Messiah.

Christ was born in Beth-Lechem "The House of Bread." Also: LChM,

to eat bread, take food; to fight, do battle and LChM war). The

bread is the wafer used in the Eucharist to symbolize "This is my

body" (see Genesis 14:18 where Melchizedek brought forth bread

and wine). This body is also the tree as well as the Christos,

the support and sustenance of Man. Mezla, the true substance. The

birth-place of Jesus ("reality liberates") is said to be Beth-

lechem, or Bethlehem, the "house of Bread" or Virgo region of

Virgin birth. see 490, 800, 581 (note-parable of loaves and

fishes), 671 (Greek), 638, 1110.

Mathers in [Sepher Sephiroth, p. 12] cites [Psalm 78:25] "Men ate

the bread of angels; He [i.e. God] sent them all the food they

could eat." Rosenroth in [K.D.L.C.K. p. 500] gives: panis, and

says it commonly refers to Malkuth. he cites [1 Kings 1319] "The

old propher answerd, I too am a prophet, as you are. And an

angel said to me by the word of the Lord: Bring him back with

you to your house so that he may eat bread and drink water. (but

he was lying to him)." Rosenroth says that others say that LChM

is Vav, which is in Tiphareth. A discussion follows. [Genesis

14:18] "Then Melchizedek King of Salem brought forth bread and

wine; he was priest of God most high."

ChLM kholem. breaker, to bind; to dream, to see visions.

suggests the breaking up of the mental complexes portrayed in

Keys 16 and also the awakened inner vision which can emerge from

it.

ChNK Enoch. Initiated; an Old Testament name. Name of the

MLCh melakh. salt; sea, to subsist. From the verb: to flow, to

dissolve, to vanish away. Aramaic to subsist. Substance or

manifestation is really an eternal flux. Name of the 3rd

alchemical principal, or tamasguna.

Mrs. Atwood writes: "The salt [MLCh = 78 = MZLA] of Saturn

[Shabbathai = 713], the universal son of nature, has reigned,

does reign, and will reign naturally and universally in all

things; always and every where universal through its own

feasibility, self-existent in nature. Hear and attend! Salt, that

most ancient principle of the stone; whose nucleus in the decad

guard in holy silence. Let him who hath understanding understand;

I have spoken it-not without weighty cause has salt been

dignified with the name of wisdom [HChKMH (The wisdom) = 78 =

MLCh]: than which, together with the sun, nothing is found more

useful." (from Khunrath). [A Suggestive inquiry into Alchemy, pp.

391-392]

ChML hawmal. to spare, have pity, have compassion. Relates to

Chesed ChSD. see 72, also: ChML, pity, compassion.

gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he

who enters by way of the south gate shall go out by the way of

the north gate; he shall not return by the way of the gate by

which he came in, but shall go over against it. Also: "detours,

opposite to, in regard to, in behalf. [Ezekiel 14:7] "For every

one of the House of Israel, or of the proselytes who dwell in

Israel, who departs from me and sets up idols in his heart and

puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face and

comes to a prophet to inquire of him, I the Lord will be a

witness against him."

KBVN cabbon. name, according to Inman, which signifies "?on? is

round, from an old root KBB cabab, he is round. Gesenius,

thinks that the word signifies a cake , while Furst considers it

equivalent to a hamlet or circle of ?huts? [Joshua 15:40] "And

Cabbon, and Lahman, Kitlish,"

MBHAL Mebahal. Godwin gives: Mebahel; angel of the 2nd quinance

-10

) of Libra; angel by night of the 2 of Swords. This

represents the operation of Chokmah, sphere of the zodiac, in

Yetzirah, the Formative world. Davidson adds that his

corresponding angel is THESOGAR.

AVMAL Aumial. According to Godwin: Auamel; angel of the 6th

quinance (26

-30

) of Sagittarius; angel by night of the 10 of

Wands. This represents the operation of Malkuth, the physical

plane in Atziluth, the Archetypal World of ideas. Davidson gives:

Omael, and says "omael was of the order of Dominations.. whether

Omael is fallen or still upright is difficult to determine from

the information available. He seems to operate in both domains

(Heaven and Hell)." [Dictionary of Angels, p. 212]

79 (prime)

AM-GLH em-galah. "when reveals." [Amos 3:17]. AM is listed as a

conjunction meaning: if, whether, when, on condition. With

different vowel points it means: mother, origin, commencement,

womb, basic, authority (see 155, 41).

BOZ Boaz. "in strength," The black pillar set before Solomon's

temple on the left side. Symbolizes the negative, feminine,

polarity of the Tree of Life -the Pillar of Severity. (scriptural

DLILH Delilah. "Pining with desire [Judges 16:4]. "unfortunate

or miserable" [Furst]. Delilah, the consort of Sampson, who

deprived him of his strength by cutting of his hair. Inman says:

"From DLI 'A pail, also "the testicles" as in Numbers 24:7, The

sign of the genitive case, and IH, Jah of "the Bucket of Jah.'

Compare 'He shall pour the water out of his buckets' and 'His

seed shall be in many water' [Numbers 24:7]." Note that LILH

means: 'A twist away from the light; night," prefixed by Daleth

or Venus (Desire). see 75, 696.

GN IHVH Gan Jehovah. Garden of God (garden of Eden).

OBH. to pass over, continue; to adorn self.

of Return. see 193 Latin.

80 (2*5*8)

The robe on Key 0, The Fool, bears the sign of the alchemical

Quintessence, an 8-spoked wheel, 10 times repeated. Suggesting

that the spiritual essences of the 10 Sephiroth are part of the

vesture or veil of THAT which the Fool really it. The path of

Aleph is the very essence of Kether itself, and Kether is naught

but the concentration of AIN, En (naughtness), into the Simple

Point.

P Peh. The alphabetical symbol of Mars (action). "The Peh

consists of a Kaph with a Yod suspended inside it; the Kaph

stands for practical action, while the Yod represents wisdom.

Thus, the letter Peh represents a spiritual quality (wisdom)

contained within the proper vessel for its practical

realization... It also denotes productivity and accomplishment,

which results through mental or physical efforts, unlike Yod,

which stands for "hand" indicating power and possession." [The

Wisdom of the Hebrew Alphabet, Rabbi Munk]. "Why is the letter

Cheth assigned to "the function of speech," and Peh to "the mouth

as the organ of speech?" Words that originate in the mouth can

never protect, and only exhibit the negative side of Mars,

aggression. Words that originate from the Divine used the mouth

to excite grace. [Simple Stories From the Heart, Rabbi Kardia].

see 85, 899.

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "This character as consonant, belongs to

the labial sound, and possesses two distinct articulations: by

the First P, it is joined to the character Beth or B, of which it

is a reinforcement; by the second PH, it is joined to the

character Vav become consonant and pronounced V or F. As symbolic

image it represents the mouth of man, whose most beautiful

attributed it depicts, that of uttering his thoughts. As

grammatical sign, it is that of speech, and of that which is

related thereunto. The Hebrew does not employ it as article; but

everything proves that many of the Egyptians used it in this way

and thus confounded it with its analogue Beth, by a peculiar

affectation of the pronunciation. Perhaps also a certain dialect

admitted it at the head of words as emphatic article in place of

the relation PH; this appears all the more probable, since in

Hebrew, a fairly large quantity of words exist where it remains

such..." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.422-423]

"The heart of NPSh, Nephesh, is the letter Peh, and this path

carrieth the power of Netzach into Hod. From Geburah, the Sphere

of Madim, the Holy Mezla descendeth into Tiphareth through the

path of action, the sharp goad of Lamed. Yet is this path of

Lamed of the quality of Nogah.

Then from Tiphareth the Holy Mezla descendeth into the Sphere of

Nogah through the path of change, the path of Nun. Thus from the

Sphere of Madim the channel beginneth with Nogah, then taketh on

the form of Madim to enter the Sphere of Nogah; and likewise is

the first path from Nogah

a path of Madim.

Consider this well, and see how, on the Tree, the paths of Daleth

and Peh are of like nature, though opposite in appearance. Now

see further. Peh is the heart of NPSh, Nephesh, and Peh is also

one with ISVD, for the number of P is 80, and this is the number

of ISVD. Truly, P and L are one, for P is K with Yod, as you may

see by looking at the character, and K with I giveth the number

30. Thus is Lamed a goad, and if this be considered, what is the

goad but the power of Madim? And in ISVD is concealed SVDI, Sod

Yod, the secret of Yod. Now Yod itself is Kaph, and the Sod Yod

is a mystery of the hidden paternal power of Chokmah."[Qabalistic

Text - 10th Communication]

GBOH gibah. hill. [Exodus 17:9] see 686, 85.

ISVD Yesod. foundation, basis. 9th Sephirah. The Purified

Intelligence. The automatic consciousness or the reproductive

activity of the Mars force. The subconscious mind, represented

also by the litter Gimel. The reflection of Tiphareth (the Sun)

through Key 14, Also carries influences from Netzach (through Key

17) and Hod (through Key 19). The Anima Mundi, the Soul of the

World or Vital Soul in human personality. The working or

operative force and basis of every physical form. Consciousness

of Theoricus in Rosicrucian initiation (see 87, 220, 363, 430,

581). The procreative organs of Adam Qadmon, the Archetypal Man.

Here the powers of Chokmah and Binah are combined. Samekh

represent the form-giving power which supports all forms below

it.

Thus in ISVD, Yesod, is the combination of Mercury, Jupiter, Moon

and Venus; and these are, of course, the metals of the

alchemists, or the interior stars. Mars impels the upward flow

of power on the Way of Return, and this power is combined with

Moon and Venus in the work, as it begins in Malkuth and sends the

forces up through the path of Tav. But in ISVD, Yesod, Mars and

Saturn give place to Jupiter, and the path of Samekh above Yesod

is doubly related to Jupiter, as you may see from the letters S

and K. But the "matter of the work" is designated by M between S

and K, and this water will not wet the hand; it will not, that

is, wet the Yod. For the "hand" is none else but Yod.[Comment of

Qabalistic Text - 10th Communication 5/19/47]

"...the alchemists say there are two stages at the end of their

process, the White Work and the Red. White for the Moon, and Red

for the Sun.

Now, the Sphere of the Moon is Yesod, and the Sphere of the Sun

is Tiphareth. The White Work transmutes the leaden Guph into the

Purified Intelligence of Yesod, for it shows the alchemist what

is the real basis of his personal life." [Commentary 11th

Communication 5.23.47] see 89, 406.

"Through countless generations that Life perpetuateth Its

utterance by means of successive generations of human bodies. It

is on this account that the Wise aver that in Yesod is the field

of renewal through procreation.... Never have the Sons of the

Wise forgotten this, nor have they ever blasphemed the source of

Life. Yet have they known full well that not be generation only

is the command "be fruitful and multiply" to be fulfilled. There

is a fruitfulness beyond that of the flesh, and a multiplication

of the power of life beyond the bringing forth of sons and

daughters of the flesh. Thus in the word Yesod, may you read

Yod, Sod - or Sod, Yod the secret of Yod....forms are manifest in

varying degrees, and when it is thine office to bring forth

subtle forms, thou failest if thou miss thine opportunity through

the false belief that in the bringing forth of forms less subtle

there is any essential failure. [Qabalistic Text - 27th

Communication 1/15/48] see 363, 23, 11, 430.

In Leviticus 4:7: "And the priest shall put some of the blood

upon the horns of the alter of sweet incense before the Lord,

which is the tabernacile of the congregation; and he shall pour

all the rest of the blood of the bullock at the foundation of the

alter of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the

Tabernacle of the congregation." see 430.

The Zohar [IV: 225A, p. 268] Comments: "Observe that when the

priest spreads his hands at the time he blesses the people, the

Shekinah comes and hovers over him and endows him with power.

[Literally, fills his hands] When blessing, the priest raises his

right hand above the left, so as to cause the right to prevail

over the left. All the grades over which he spreads his hands,

are thus blessed from the source of all things, from the well

called righteous [i.e. ISVD, Yesod] the source of all is the

future world, the sublime source which illumines all faces,

whence are kindled all lamps. It has a counterpart in the source

and spring of the well whence all the lower lamps and the lower

lights are kindled and radiate. So one corresponds to the other.

Hence, when the priest spreads out his hands and begins to

pronounce the blessing over the people, the celestial

benedictions flowing form the celestial source at once kindle the

lamps, and faces are illumined, and the community of Israel is

adorned with celestial crowns, and all those blessing from down

from on high to below."

The Aesch Mezareph [VII, p. 38] says: "Yesod, in natural things,

contains under itself Quicksilver; because this metal is the

foundation of the whole art of transmutation."

Mrs. Atwood comments: "None better than the ancient (who profess

to have enjoyed the rational life in its most intimate spheres,

and have reaped its most real and lasting advantages), describe

the folly and fatal allurements to which they are subjected who

trust thereselves to remain passively dreaming in the region of

the phantasy, with its notion and instincts, often more false,

fleeting [text continues and is missing]

Fragment of Text: [Paul Case notes: 9 = "hypercosmic order" and

"the perfect and universalizing actualizing of ordinance"

Living One, and ShDI; and among the angels by AShIM, the "flames"

(K.V. Int. 71). Full name of 9th Sephiroth: {Proverbs 10:26]

TzDIQ ISVD OVLM, The Righteous is the Foundation of the world"

the righteous man refers to the path of foundation, because the

first man is said to be the foundation of the world [Proverbs

10:25]" (S.D. 1:34). "For Father and Mother are perpetually

conjoined in ISVD but concealed under the mystery of DOTh" (474)

(S.D. 1:38) "It is the final Yod of IHVI which is referred to

ISVD and not the initial, which belongs to ChKMH" (Mathers, note

END OF YESOD

IH ADNI Yah Adonai. God of Yesod. Yesod is the Malkuth of Briah,

the world of creation. Patterns held in Yesod are formed from the

pure substance of Briah. see 15, 220.

HIHVDIM ha-Yehudim. the Jews. (Esther 6:13). One of many hints

that the forces represented by the Tribe of Judah (related to

Leo, to Teth, and thus to Fohat) are fundamental in human life.

VOD va'ad. union, a gathering, a meeting or assembly. Refers to

Yesod as being a Sephirah in which are conjoined the influences

of the paths above it on the Tree.

VOD viade. to appoint, to designate.

KLL kalal. to complete, to finish, to make whole. As a noun:

principle, rule, community, total sum; inclusion; generalization,

statement of implication. Compare this with the meanings of 9,

the special number of Yesod. Root word of the Collective

Intelligence of Resh (KLLI). see 90, 440.

MI IHVDH miy Yehudah. waters of Judah (Isaiah 48:1). [MI] is a

Hebrew figure of speech for semen virilis. This has a connection

with the Qabalistic doctrine that Yesod represents the generative

organs of the Archetypal Man.

IO yah. shovel for removing ashes. In the Vulgate translation it

is given as Forceps. The letters of this word are the Hebrew

equivalent of the initials I.O., designating one of the founders

of the Rosicrucian order. The "shovel" purifies by removing

waste; the "forceps" helps to give birth to the new creature via

hot-house or forcing process. see 8 (Gav-note), 11.

IH ADNI Yah Adonai. God of Yesod. Yesod is the Malkuth of Briah,

the world of Creation. Patterns held in Yesod are formed from the

pure substance of Briah. see 15, 220.

KS kiis. throne [Exodus 17:16]. The foundation (stone) of

rulership.

SVD I Sod Yod. "Secret of Yod." The Life-force or "Living

Gold," or "philosophic gold." Also called ChIH (Chaiah) or

radiant energy. It is assimilated from food in the small

intestine and charges the blood-stream to provide strength for

the 3rd eye (Ehben) to open. It is the Secret of Wisdom, the

secret of AB, the divine fatherhood, and of solar radiance

(Prana). This descends from Kether as Living Light or LVX. In

Yesod this Light and Life takes form as Nephesh [NPSh], the Vital

Soul, common to man and to all lower forms of being. The word

secret has double meaning-Yod specifically symbolizes the

phallus. Another secret is the ability to reason out ideas and

destroy them is an aspect of the reproductive energy. see 21

"...they who know the secret of Yod, become the extenders of the

paternal Life and Light. Thus is Yesod called the Sphere of the

Moon, and that same Moon pertaineth also to Gimel, the letter of

Union. Blessed are they who hear and understand, and

understanding, live as they know....

Comment: ...There are many who seek to be spiritual at the

expense of the body. They repudiate all that pertains to Yesod

because they misunderstand its real significance. You may have

wondered what this section of the Text has to do with the Astral

plane, for there is a spate of words both printed and uttered

concerning the astral, mostly based on complete misapprehension.

Yet the Text points straight to the one thing, and that is, that

the mystery of the 9th Sephirah is a secret of Yod. For

competent Qabalists this will be sufficient, and the Text says

quite enough to establish certainty, for it points out that Yod

is the letter of AB, and dilates upon Chaih, so that one must be

a tyro indeed who does not see that the secret has to do with the

radiance of the stars, that is with Light, which is one with

Life." [Qabalistic Text and Commentary - 27th Communication

HHO Hehau. 12th Shemhamphorash, short form, associated with the

SK sawk. thick mass, "multitude," crowd. [Psalm 42:5] "There I

remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go with the

multitude, leading the procession to the house of God, with

shouts of Joy and Thanksgiving among the festive thongs." see 560

Fabre D'Olivet writes: SK. The circumferential sign united by

contraction to the root AK, image of every restriction and

exception, forms a root whose use is to characterize a thing

which is round, closed, fitting to contain, to cover, thence SK,

a sack, a veil, covering of any sort that which envelops, covers,

obstructs. In a figurative sense, the multitude of men which

cover the earth; ointment with which the skin is covered and that

which closes the pours. The Arabic [word] has preserved few of

the expressions which hold to the radical sense. Its principle

development spring from the onomatopotic root [Arabic word] which

depicts the effect of the effort that one makes in striking.

Literally it is striking, a thing to make it yield." [Hebrew

Tongue Restored p. 409]

OI Ay. A town near Bethel; heap ruin [Psalm 79:1] "O God, the

nations [GVIM, 59] have invaded our inheritance; they have

defiled your Holy Temple, they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.

Fabre D'Olivet says of this root: IO Hi. This root is the

analogue of the toots OH and OV, whose physical expression it

manifest. It is, in general growth, material development;

accumulation. The Arabic [word] indicates an overwhelming burden,

a fatigue; [Arabic word] signifies to goad." [Hebrew Tongue

Restored p. 417]

MM mam. given, without explanation, by Mathers, in [Sepher

Sephiroth p. 12]. Fabre D'Olivet writes: Root not used in Hebrew.

The Arabic [word] seems to indicate a thing livid, or which

renders livid; a thing inanimate, and as dead. Literally wax, a

mummy: figuratively, solitude, a desert.

The basis of practical occultism (I.O) is self-expression or

self-utterance. Adequate self-expression requires self-

interrogation (I.A) animated by specific purpose. This work of

self-expression is to be realized through concentration, which

leads to the establishment of equilibrium through finding one's

true center (G.V.).

22, which is the Latin value of C.R.C. and of I.O. has a

connection with the paths of the letters on the Tree of Life, and

with the number of Tarot Keys. 26 (G.V.) is the Hebrew value of

IHVH. 10 (I.A.) suggests the 10 Sephiroth. Thus the whole system

of 32 Paths in intimated.

many mysteries; here, however, we are concerned with the fact

that it is the first of all commandments, the root of all

God is a consuming fire [Deuteronomy 4:24] see 9, 18, 27, 36,

45, 54, 63, 72, 90.

ThBO tebah, teba. to sink; to impress, impression on a coin,

character. as a noun: nature. The meanings of this word imply

that nature is like the impression made on wax by a signet ring.

Closely related is the occult doctrine that nature is impressed

with characters written by the Hand of God. This is a figurative

way of stating what is strictly true. One needs only pay close

attention to events and things in order to read their inner

meaning (see 86). Root of Motba, [MVThBO] the 28th Path of the

AVOD. I will meet (G.G. Locks).

BThNK ve-tanek, betenek. your womb, the belly. [Son of Solomon

7:2] "...thy belly is like an heap of wheat about with lilies."

This word also implies the womb: see Key 3, The Empress, whose

self-conscious activity, as in Key 1. Illumination is the ripe

fruit of meditation. [Deuteronomy 7:13] "He will bless the fruit

is ruled by Saturn, and suggest disorderliness, imprudence and

unplanned activities in meditation, because of imbalance.

According to Godwin, this is Camio, Goetic demon by night of the

1st decanate of Virgo. Davidson calls him Caim, Caym or Camio and

says: "Once of the order of Angels, Caim is now in hell, a great

president. He manifest in the form of a thrush. As many of 30

legions of infernal spirits attend him." [Dictionary of Angels,

Greek/Latin

Phoenix (Latin). The legendary bird which lived for 500 years,

was consumed by fire and was reborn from its own ashes. An

alchemical term. The Book of Lambspring says: "In India there is

a most pleasant wood, in which two birds are bound together. One

is of a snowy white; the other is red. They bite each other, and

one is slain and devoured by the other. Then both are changed

into white doves, and of the dove is born a phoenix, which has

left behind blackness and foul death, and his regained a more

glorious life. This power was given it by God himself, that it

might live eternally, and never die. It gives us wealth, it

preserves our life, and which it we may work great miracles, as

According to Fabre D'Olivet: "GP. All ideas to conservation,

protection, guarantee: in a restricted sense, a body. The Arabic

[word] develops the idea of dryness and of that which becomes

dry. The verb [Arabic word] signifies literally, to with draw

from." [Hebrew Tongue Restored pp. 316-317]

PG [beginning of text missing] ...almost a miracle. The letters

of the name ThANH Tenah illustrate that fact: The symbol of the

fig tree Th, Tav engendering directly Aleph, in a perpetual life.

ThA Tav-Aleph culminate in NH Nun-Hen. This explains Jesus

mysterious curse upon the unfruitful fig-tree [Matthew 21: 18-22]

If it does not give forth the Aleph, it is not a real fig tree,

it is an imposter." [Song of Songs, p. 75]

Fabre D'Olivet writes: "PG Phg. That which extends afar, which

wanders, is extended, loses its strength, its heat. The Arabic

[word] has nearly the same sense. As noun, it is every kind of

crudeness, unripeness; as verb, it is the action of separating,

opening, disjoining, etc." [Hebrew Tongue Restored p. 423]

make a companion [an help meet] for him." Here is a prefix

meaning "as, like; about; approximate; while, during"; NGD means:

before, in front of, in the presence of; over, against, opposite;

thus KNGD means: according to ; towards, opposite. see 45 (aleph,

ChNVK Enoch. Initiated. Proper name Enoch, the patriarch who

"walked with God." see 564.

Fabre D'Olivet renders [Genesis 4:17] "And Kain knew Aisheth (his

intellectual companion, his volitive faculty): and she conceived

and brought forth (the existence of) Henoch (founder, central

energy) Then he builded a spherical enclosure (stronghold) and

he called the name of this spherical enclosure after the name of

his son Henoch." He comments: ChNVK... again I urge the reader to

give close attention to the proper names; for to them Moses

attaches great importance. The greater part of the hieroglyphic

mysteries are now in form of these names. The one referred to in

this passage, is composed to the two roots ChN and AK. The first

ChN, characterize proper, elementary existence: it is a kind of

strengthening of analogous root ChN, more used, and which

designates things in general. The second AK, contains the idea of

every compression, of every effort that the being makes upon

itself, or upon another. For the purpose of fixing itself or

another. The verb which comes from these two roots: ChNVK

signifies to fix, to found, to institute, to arrest any existence

whatsoever. It is from a composition quite similar, that the

personal pronoun ANVKI, myself, in Hebrew results; that is to say

AN or HN, the finished, corporeal being, AVK founded, Yod in me."

[Hebrew Tongue Restored p. 137-138]

Gaskell comments that Enoch is "a symbol of the individuality;

that part of the soul which survives physical and astral

dissolution, or the first and second deaths, and is immortal."

[Dictionary of all Scriptures and Myths, p. 250]

IDO yawda. to see, to know, to know carnally, perceive,

consider. The root of DOTh, Da'ath. Its 1st 2 letter spell ID,

Yod (hand) and Ayin which means human eye. Therefore to know

means: to touch and see. First of the occult axioms: to know, to

will, to dare, to be silent. also: IDO: to appoint, assign; IDO:

to be known, be familiar. see 474, 503, 20, 701, 130, 708

DMM dammam, dawmam. was silent, to be silent, to be still, to

wait in silence; to stop, stand still; to be struck dumb. A

reminder of the last, and therefore most emphatic of the four

ancient occult axioms. To know, will, dare and be silent. "Be

still, and know that I am God." see 86

ChLVM chalom, chaelom. a dream. "Then shall the vision of thy

Lord be granted unto thee" [Book of Tokens, Samekh]. Signifies

revelation of knowledge in the silence of night.

ALChMH Alchemah, alaychemay. Alchemy; the science of personality

transmutation and the art of physical regeneration through union

with God. see 53. Note that this word is composed of two other

words AL (strength, a name of God), and ChMH, Khammah, the Sun.

[ALChM, ilkhame, is the modern Hebrew verb meaning "to

alchemize."

Case Writes: "Alchemy is AL-ChMH, wherefore, on p. 75 of this

work [Hermetic Mystery and Alchemy, by Mrs. Atwood-A Suggestive

Inquiry], those who pin the narrow name of Chemia to this

science are denounced as imposters. For though this is the

science and art which deals with what hearers calls the

operation of the sun , it is altogether misunderstood if it be

limited to the sun (ChMH). unless AL be conjoined to ChMH, the

art is not truly named. Al = 31 and ChMH (sun) = 53. Therefore is

AL the symbol of the one manifested through the three, while ChMH

signifies the manifestation of the three through the five. The

ONE is the first matter; the three are the principles, Sulphur,

Mercury and Salt; the five are the four elements and the

quintessence extracted from them. Therefore does the name alchemy

represent that which by the wise is declared to be One which is

also three, four and five (since Al = 31 = 4, and ChMH = 8. The 4

may be symbolized as the + of the elements (with the quintessence

at the center). The eight is no where better symbolized than by

the numeral 8, which discloses the secret of its movement.

Finally, ChMH + AL = 84 = the conjunction of 8, the number of

Hermes or Mercury with 4, the number of Jupiter, of Zeus. Here in

may be found the whole mystery of the Tetragrammaton (4) and

Christ (8). And the conjunction of the new Jerusalem, and of the

ancient Egyptian symbol [3-4-5 triangle] wherein the whole

mystery of the art is synthesized; while there multiplication

(8x4) gives 32, the number of the paths on the Tree."

P-D Peh-Daleth. Initials P.D. of the last brother of the 2nd

group of co-founders of the Rosicrucian order according to the

Fama.

"These initials do not spell a Hebrew word, but they correspond

to letters of Peh (Mars) and Daleth (Venus). Suggesting action

(which is expression, since Peh means mouth) and imagination

(which is the door of Daleth, leading out of any given situation

into another)... Action which expresses vivid imagination is

indispensable. Yet the most effective action is free from noise.

Silent action speaks louder that an words. The Fama says, that

brother P.D. was their secretary, and his initials are

appropriate in this connection. The secretary receive letters and

applications, and communicates the responses of the fraternity.

He keeps the records of the work, and all the archives. He must

be gifted in expression, because he is the mouth piece of all. He

must be possessed of imagination, because he has to understand

the problems of others. He must be a true initiate, walking with

God, like Enoch. he must be silent in the face of criticism,

silent before enemies of the Work, silent in the presence of the

unprepared and hardest of all, silent when the silly ignorance of

others tempts him to speech, where speech would do no good." [PFC

True and Invisible page 160].

A-H-Ch-O Aleph-Heh-Cheth-Ayin. The 4 guttural letters of the

Hebrew Alphabet. Aleph = spirit; Heh = vision, reason; Cheth =

receptivity; Ayin = mirth, renewal. [IZQ, 699] [K.D.L.C.K. p. 71]

says that these are the initial letters of Exodus 32:31, ANA

ChThA (H)OM HZH "Oh, this people have sinned a great sin."

ABIMAL Abimail. "The Father is God." A son of Joktan [Genesis

10:28]

AChLMH achlmah. Amethyst; a precious stone; the ninth stone of

the breast-plate of the High Priest; corresponding with

Sagittarius. [Exodus 28:19] "And in the third row an opal, an

agate, and an amethyst." For other stones, see 45, 98, 702, 150,

345, 395, 370, 308, 1210, 350, 85.

Isidore Kosminsky writes: "The ninth stone of the breastplate is

achlamah, which with few exceptions, is identified with the

amethyst-beyond doubt the correct identification. The Midrash

Bemiddah gives the color as purple which is the dominant shade of

this beautiful gem: purple is also one of the chief colors

associated with the planet Jupiter which in Astrology is termed

the Lord of Sagittarius, the ninth sign of the Zodiac... in old

poets, travelers, publishers, etc. It would strengthen the

wisdom, faith and religion of the wearer and aid in prayer and in

dreaming. If bound to the left wrist the amethyst enabled the

wearer to see the future in dreams; to dream of the stone itself

indicated success to a traveler, clergyman, sailor, philosopher,

teacher or mystic, also protection, faith and fruitful thought

for pains in the head (headache, toothache, etc.) It was

recommended that an amethyst be immersed in hor water for a few

minutes, taken out, dried, carefully and gently rubbed over the

parts affected and the back of the neck. Almost all authorities

agree in translating the Hebrew achlamah as amethyst and as

identifying it as the ninth stone of the High Priest Breastplate.

It was the seventh precious stone which the sage Iachus gave to

Apollonius of Tyana as an emblem of piety and dignity." (pp. 129-

132)

Greek/Latin

centrum (Lt). center. Located in Tiphareth as the middle point in

the Tree of Life. Vav indicates the centrum mentioned in the Fama

as the only point and center to which we are directed by true

philosophy [PFC True and Invisible, page 176]. see 6, 12, 1081.

essentia (Lt). essence.

Magister (Lt). Master, leader, chief, superior. he who "Knows" is

initiated into the central essence at the heart and this is his

reward. He thus merits the above titles. see 314 Latin, 151

Latin.

Jacob Boehme writes: "And Hebrew understand that the will is a

spirit, and different from the desirous craving. For the will is

an insensitive and incognitive life; but the craving is found by

the will, and is the will a being. This the craving is a magia

(29), and the will a magus (55); and the will is greater than its

mother which gives it, for it is Lord in the mother; and the

mother is dumb, but the will is a life without origin. The

craving is certainly a casue of the will, but without knowledge

or understanding. The will is the understanding of the craving."

[Mysterium Pansophicum II:2, p. 154] Paul Case notes: 29 (magia-

magic) + 55 (magus-mage) = 84 = magister = centrum, i.e. the

point = 1 = magus; the circle surrounding it is magia.

cognitio (Lt). knowledge. Part of a phrase see 474.

seculum. a generation, life-time; age.

85 (5*17)

PH Letter name Peh. the mouth as organ of speech; speech,

saying, command, orifice, opening; edge (of sword);extremity,

end; womb; border, mouthful, portion, part. The utterance of the

Word, the Creative Thought. Peh represents the Mars force, or

the principle of action. The No-Thing establishes apparent

limitation by the utterance of its Creative Thought, and this

utterance is the active principle of manifestation. The power

which constitutes the framework of creation (Key 4). The ground

of similarity among all forms of cosmic manifestation (Key 13).

The root of other powers (Geburah, 216). The exciting influence

giving the initial impulse to various trains of action (Key 16).

The power of renewal which leads to regeneration (Key 15). [Mars

is exalted in Capricorn]. The name of the letter Peh, which

corresponds to Mars, the Mars-force or principle of action (see

80). The 17th letter, 2th Path of Wisdom and Key 16. Peh connects

Netzach (desire) and Hod (intellect) on the Tree of Life and is

the northern face of the Cube of Space. see 80, 899.

"These two paths cross Gimel above Tiphareth, but the third

reciprocal path of Peh crosses the path of Samekh below

Tiphareth. Now see a subtlety. PH, Peh, is 85, and this goes

back to 4 through 13, so that the path of PH, Peh, veils Daleth

again. Thus all the horizontal paths are feminine, even though

the path of Peh is related to Mars, and the ruling power in the

path of Teth is the Sun." [Commentary - 11th Communication

5/23/47]

"PH is 85, a fivefold 17 is the sign of the multiplication of

goodness by the vision of the Constituting Intelligence which is

H, or 5." [Qabalistic Text - 24th Communication 1/1/48] see 89,

10, 17, 170

ISVDH Yesodah. Basis, foundation. Feminine form of the Yesod.

Establishment of seeming limitation is the result of the

operation of the feminine aspect of reality, the feminine

foundation. Compare BThN beten, the womb and AMK (61), ameka, thy

mother.

HISVD ha-Yesod. the foundation. Refers to Yesod on the Tree of

Life (see 80).

HOI hawi. heap, ruin. As the name a city, it is translated "Ai."

The prefix H perhaps is considered as the definite article.

APD aphad or ahfad. to clothe, to glorify, steadfast; to bind

about, to gird; steadfastness, constancy. The No-Thing

establishes apparent limitation within itself by circumscribing a

field of manifestation in which to express its infinite

potencies.

BVOZ Boaz. The black pillar of severity set before Solomon's

temple. A variant spelling referred to in the Sephirah Hod. BOZ

is the scripture spelling [1 Kings 7:22]. see 79.

HMM hawmam. to route, to confuse, to impel, to drive, to put into

strong action; to disturb; to bring into confusion, to confound.

The No-Thing disturbs its own perfect rest in order to manifest

its potencies, and sets up intense activities within the field of

seeming limitation it establishes in itself. The primary

manifestations are chaotic, disturbed and confused, yet order

eventually evolves out of the primary chaos.

LB-ABN laib ehben. "heart of the stone" [Ezekiel 11:19]. In the

passage H is affixed to ABN. A Qabalistic liberty has been

exercised here. "And I will take the stoney heart out of their

flesh." The "stoney heart" is a symbolic of the sense of

separateness pictured by the Key 16, the Tower.

GBIO gobiya. bowl, a goblet; the calyx of a flower. The cup on

the Magician's table, and the flowers in his garden. The "cup"

is the creative pattern in the Universal Mind. Its connection

with Peh intimates that the power of articulate sound has power

akin to the Briatic world of cups.

"GBIO is from GBO, to be vaulted or arched, and this at once

identifies the symbolic meaning of the word as having something

to do with the feminine gender. A flower is that part of a plant

in which the reproductive organs are located, and GBIO is

actually related to the occult meaning of Mars, which is that

force active in the reproductive power of both sexes." [Gematria

of the Letter Names]

MILH miylah, miylah (fem.). Circumcision (Rabbinical word), the

sign of the covenant of union and love, in exoteric Judaism. For

spiritual Israel, there is the circumcision of the heart by the

control of the emotional nature. In Yod the seed of all the

letters is the secret of the covenant and this secret is the Peh-

Heh, the mouth of the eternal. This is the true occult meaning of

the compass in Freemasonry: "Learn to circumscribe their passions

and keep their desires within bounds." Notariqon for "Who shall

go up for us to heaven?" [Deut. 30:12]. (see 95, 671, 651, 55).

"Verily, IVD is the seed of all the letters, and if thou hast

eyes to see, in IVD is the secret of the Covenant, and this

secret is the Peh-Heh (PH), for PH is 85, or HISVD, Ha-Yesod, the

Foundation, and 85 is also MILH, the Covenant which removeth

concealment from the paternal Yod.

Comment: The text outwardly reflects the influence of Jewish

exclusiveness, but this is only in letter, not in spirit. The

physical rite does, indeed, unveil the paternal Yod, hence the

phrase, "if thou hast eyes to see," but the Covenant is not its

symbol. What is hidden here goes deeper.

In MILH the first letter is MIM. Then comes IVD, then LMD, and,

lastly, HH. MIM IVD spells MI, which is the Living Water,

transmitting life. Of that life, the letter I at the end of MI

is the sign, for I is the first letter of IHVH, the name of the

Most High. Thus Yod stands for Chaiah, the life-force in

Chokmah, and the letters Lamed and Heh which conclude MILH are

referred to Venus (Nogah) and Mars (Madim) respectively.

The Covenant, then, reveals the paternal Yod in Chokmah. Yet is

the symbol a clue to a fact, for the cosmic life-force is

projected, generation after generation, into manifestation

through human bodies, and the power of Mars is combined with

that of Venus in the Vital Soul in Yesod. This is, even now, a

closely guarded practical secret, and not even here may you

expect to find it unveiled. If you can see and hear, you may

come to know it. But how far do you see, and what do you really

hear?" [Qabalistic Text and Commnetary - 10th Communication

5/19/47]

"The fact that Peh represents the Mars force is also the clue to

the meaning of MILH, circumcision, which refers to the masculine

aspects of the Life Power s activity in reproduction." [Gematria

of the Letter-Names]

PH po. here, hither. see 549, 226, 876, 95.

HGBOH ha-gibah. the hill [Exodus 17:9]. "Tomorrow I will stand

on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand." said

Moses to Joshua. This is the feminine GBOH of the masculine noun,

GBO, hill

Greek/Latin

Dominus (Lt). Lord. Latin word for God as the ruler of the

universe. The Latin word used in translating IHVH and ADNI in

the Old Testament (see 26, 65). What is intimated is that what

the human mind formulates in its idea of God is Lord, is no more

than the idea of the agency where by the absolute sets up the

conditions of name and form, which are the logical necessities

for any manifestation whatever. see 518 Latin.

veritas (Lt). truth. "Truth" has to do with something we must

regard as being intermediate between the Absolute No-Thing and

the field of seeming limitation which embraces all things having

form, quality, mass, and other definable characteristics. see

441.

Zelator (Lt). The zealous one. Corresponds to 1=10 Rosicrucian

grade of initiation corresponding to Malkuth on the Tree of Life,

and the element of Earth. The "Lord of Earth is Adonai Melekh.

The Zealator is admonished to kerp the fire of aspiration buring

in the athanor or vessel of light, in this quest for truth. see

103, 100, 142, 656, 662.

Scorpio (Lt). Scorpion; the eight sign of the Zodiac,

corresponding to the Hebrew letter Nun, "seed", Tarot Key 13

Death, i.e. change and transformation, to alchemical

putrefaction, and to Apophis (Typhon) in the IAO formula. see 50,

106, 54, 81, 861 (Greek); 70 (Latin).

86 (2*43)

ALHIM Elohim. Creative Powers, Strengths. The 7-fold Life-

breath. Creative name attributed to Binah. The "Gods" or 7

spirits of God, the order of angels of Netzach. Refers

particularly to Binah as being Amah [AMA], the Dark Sterile

Mother." The power which brings actual things into manifestation

in the world of name and form. The masculine plural of a feminine

singular. One could say that Elohim is a "plural of majesty." A:

Rauch (Ether), L: Libra (Air), H: Aries (Fire), I: Virgo (Earth),

M: Neptune (Water). see 42.

Other Meanings: God, Deity, Angels, judge, rular. Daniel 2:44 The

spelling God of heaven ALH ShMIA is used. see 387.

***1. According to Fabre D'Olivet: " ALHIM AElohim.... This is

the plural of the word ALH, the name given to the supreme being

by the Hebrews and the Chaldeans, and being itself derived from

the root AL, which depicts elevation, strength, and expansive

power; signifying in a universal sense God. It is a very singular

observation that the last word applied to the Most High, is

however, in its abstract sense only the relative pronoun he

employed in an absolute manner. Nearly all of the Asiatic peoples

have used the bold metaphor. HVA (Hoa), that is to say, HE is the

Hebrew, Chaladic, Syriac, Ethopic and Arabic, one of the sacred

names of the divinity; it is evident that the Persian word Goda,

God which is found in all the tongues of the North, is derived

also from the absolute pronoun ***, HIM-self. It is known that he

Greek philosophers and Plato particularly, designated the

intelligent cause of the universe in no other way than by the

absolute pronoun [Greek word].

However that may be, the Hebraic name Elohim has been obviously

composed of the pronoun AL and absolute verb, HVH, to be being...

It is from the inmost root of this verb that the divine name IH

Yah, is founded, the literal meaning of which is Absolute-Life.

The verb itself, united to pronoun AL, produces ALVH (Eloah),

That-He-who-is, the plural of which Aelohim, signifies exactly

HE-they-who-are: The Being of Beings.

The Samaritan says Alah, whose root AL is found still in the

Arabic Allah, and in the Syariac Aeloha. The Chaladic alone

depicts from this root and translates III Iaii, the Eternity of

Eternities, which is also applied to the Ineffable Name of God,

IHVH...also of the words ShMIM, The Heavens, and ARTz, the

earth." [Hebrew Tongue Restored p. 28]

2. F.J. Mayers adds: "In the first place it is a plural name.

There is a singular form of the name: Eloha , i.e. god (small

g ). Elohim , therefore literally means Gods ...although it is

clearly a plural name, it is invariably used with the singular

verb; i.e. it issued grammatically as if it were singular. The

significance of this is that although "Elohim denotes, like the

Gods of the nations, the various powers, attributes, qualities,

and activities of the supreme being, they are all conceived of as

a unity; they all work together as one; they express one will,

one purpose, one harmony; their activities are the manifestation

of the eternal One, the absolute. One might, therefore, explain

the name Elohim as "He the Gods or The unity of Gods , or

The activities of the Eternal One. i.e. God expressing and

revealing himself outwardly in creative activity. How completely

this harmonizes with the New Testament: In (the) Beginning was

the word and the word was with (literally in ) God, and the

word was God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was

not anything made that is made, etc. Elohim was the creative

aspect of God; he was the creator and maker of all things. So was

the word . Elohim was the revealer of the Eternal One. So was

the Word .. He hath declared him. Elohim was the outward

expression of God-the divine image or likeness -which was to

be formed ultimately, as we shall see later, in universal man. So

was the word the two names express the same idea, one in Hebrew

idiom, and the other in Greek idiom. Each is, in the language of

theology, the second person of the divine trinity. But it will

be noticed that the two names belong to different ages, and

correspond to different stages in human evolution. The earlier

name Elohim corresponds to an age in which man was still

dominantly an instinctive being, far from being full self-

conscious." [The Unknown God, pp. 14-15]

3. Cario Suares says that: "Elohim has... been explained as being

the process through which Aleph becomes Yod and resurrects from

that material metamorphosis. Life in its oneness moves up and

down, down and up, from infinite to finite, and from duration to

timelessness." [The Cipher of Genesis, p. 87]

4. The Zohar [I:15B] Comments: "When, however it [the house,

Beth] was sown with seed to make it habitable, it was called

Elohim, hidden and mysterious. The Zohar was hidden and withdrawn

so long as the building was within and yet to bring forth and the

house was extended only so far as to find room for the holy seed.

Before it had conceived and had extended sufficiency to be

habitable, it was not called Elohim, but all was still included

in the term Bereshith [913]. After it had acquired the name

Elohim, it brought forth offspring from the seed that had been

implanted in it." (p. 64)

H-ThBO ha-taba. Nature. Referring to nature or everything in the

field of manifestation, which is like an impression on a coin or

in substance. As a verb, to be set as a foundation. (The Talmudic

word for nature is HThBO, which also means substance, element,

coin, medal, impression on a coin, universe, character,

characteristics. The Heh as a prefix ?[text ends]? see 81, 23,

4, 14, 41, 72, 104, 158

ABL HGDVLH abel ha-gedulah. "the great meadow." Incorrectly

translated in the English Bible as the "Great stone of Abel."

(see 1 Samuel 6:18 and note that "Stone" and "which stone

remaineth" are in italics, to indicate words are not in the

Hebrew original). Do not confuse Abel with the name of the 2nd

son of Adam and Eve. The "Great Meadow" symbolizes the field of

cosmic manifestation, relating to Cheth as the field or fence of

human personality within the boundaries of the absolute.

BODI baedi. "what surrounds me, i.e. "my environment." Translated

"That which concerneth me" in the authorized version of Psalm

138:8. "What surrounds me" is the "Great Meadow," the field of

cosmic manifestation. The field is itself WITHIN the encompassing

being of the One Reality.

OBDI ehbaydai, obediy. "my servants" [Isaiah 65:13, Psalm

135:1]. These are the servants of IHVH, the powers which surround

us and constitute our environment and represented by ALHIM,

Elohim (86). "The Great Meadow" which constitutes "what

surrounds me" contains nothing but the servants of

Tetragrammaton, and these are the creative powers called Elohim

in Genesis. The power of specialization corresponding to Binah

and the first Heh in IHVH. see 162

NBDL nibawdel or nivdal. separative. From a verb meaning: to be

divided, separated, set apart; similar to the English "to

distinguish". The 6th path is the Intelligence of Mediating or

Separative Influence. The Separative Intelligence is a mode of

consciousness which acts in man as the discriminative power that

classifies various objects of experience. A formula for the

powers of the Elohim. They manifest through imagination (Nun),

self-conscious effort (Beth), desire (Daleth) and action through

balance (Lamed). The sonship of man makes him heir for the powers

of the Elohim. see 1081, 536, 548, 640, 886.

AHIH ADNI Eheyeh Adonai. A name composed of the special names of

Kether (AHIH) and Malkuth (ADNI), and thus asserting the identity

of these 2 Sephiroth. It is written, therefore that "Kether is in

Malkuth and Malkuth is in Kether, but after another manner." It

is also the secret of the saying "I and the father are one." In

this connection remember that the holy Ghost came as fire. see

21, 65, 386, 620, 496.

SBV sukkoh. pavilion, tent. "his tabernacle," where it is said

to be in Salem, i.e. in peace. This brings out the idea that

ALHIM is the name used in Psalm 76. [The spelling of sukkoh in

Psalm 76 is a longer spelling. This is the defective spelling for

special Qabalistic emphasis.] see 370, 376, 92

HLLV IH Hallelu Jah. Praise be to God. Exclamation of Joy.

KVS kevos. cup, goblet, the lot of fate, whether good or bad;

also the pelican called KVS, because its throat resembles a cup

or bag. The pelican is an important alchemical symbol. In all its

meanigns this word suggest the concealment, virgin birth, and

preservation of the fire through the feminine prinicple. see 386,

300.

MVM maom. want, fault, blemish, stain, spot, defect. Godwin

gives: Mum; 72nd name of Shemhamphorash, short form, associated

with the 6th Quinance (26

have recourse to it; they will have present merits and secret

inspirations concerning all that happens to them. Rules the

generation of beings, and influences friendships and conjugal

fidelity. Person born: ardent in love; likes walking for pleasure

(la promenads) and ??? in general. see 965, 1525.

HNAL Haniel. Geomantic intelligence of Capricorn.

KIVN keyehon. The planet Saturn, Binah, the sphere of Saturn is

also the sphere of the Elohim.

Greek/Latin

Naometria (Lt). Temple measurement. A Latinized from a Greek

noun. It was a title of a curious work by Simon Studion. The book

itself is negligible. Yet its title shows that Studion might have

had some acquaintance with occult writings circulated by the

inner school before the publication of the 1st Rosicrucian

manifestoes. In these, the word Naometria had to do with right

measurement of the field within the boundaries of the pentagon,

i.e., nature as the temple of God.

A.E. Waite writes: "The symbolical expression is reminiscent of

Kabalistic or pre-Kabalistic tracts on the delineation of the

celestial temples, the measurement of diving body, and Rabbi

Eliezer s measurement of the Earth Temple; but the immediate

allusion is to the Apocalypse, Revelations 11:1: And there was

given me a reed like a rod: and the angel stood, saying: rise,

and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that

worship the rein. For this reason the subtitle of the manuscript

is termed a naked and prime opening of the book written-within

and without-by the key of David and the reed like unto a rod.

The book in question is presumable that which was sealed with

seven seals, but was opened in heaven by the Lamb, standing

before the throne of God; and Naometria is said to be a brief

introduction to a knowledge of all mysteries in holy scripture

and the universal world. It follows that Simon Studion, by the

claim expressed in his title, but received the power which was

given to the lion of the tribe of Juda and the root of David."

[Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross, p. 44] see 333 (Latin)

primus (Lt). first (in order). Indicating the idea that the Field

must be manifest before the man appears, just as the pentagon

must be constructed before the star of 5 points, symbolizing man,

may be drawn.

sapientia (Lt). wisdom. The Latin equivalent of Chokmah. see 73,

357 (Latin), 421

simplex (Lt). simple, uncompounded, unmixed. Indicating the

undifferentiated state of the field with the area symbolically

enclosed by the pentagon (Chaiah, 23), before it is specialized

by the Tetragrammaton (IHVH) Elohim.

terra adamica (Lt). earth of adam [Secret symbols, page 34].

These words are followed by the word Azoth, written with A and Z

in Roman characters, Omega in Greek, and Tav in Hebrew. Thus A-Z-

Omega-Tav, Azoth means "beginning and end" and is an alchemical

name for the Quinta Essentia. see 158, 1223

Typhon (Latin). The Greek name of the Egyptian divinity Set, the

personifacation of the principle of evil. In Greek mythology

[Greek word] the father of the winds and the son of [Greek word],

with whom he was sometimes confused [Webster] As storms were

ascribed to the agency of giants, the name came to mean a

furious storm, hurricane, typhoon" [Greek Dictionary]. An

appropriate name for unbalanced force before equilibration has

evolved order into manifestation. The "age" of giants and

dinosaurs." see 2050, 70 (Greek); 23, 52 (Latin); 861 (Greek)

"Typhon is an aspect or shadow of Osiris. Typhon is not the

distinct evil principle or Satan of the Jews; but rather the

lower cosmic principle of the divine body of Osiris (81, 590),

the God of them. The true meaning of the Egyptian myth is that

Typhon is the terrestrial and material envelope of Osiris, who is

the indwelling spirit thereof. In the Qabalistic system which we

call the Tree of Life this quarternaty of lower principles

corresponds to the four Sephiroth below Tiphareth... if one

remembers that every anthropomorphic creative God was with the

ancients the Life-giver and the Death-dealer -Osiris and

Typhon.. It will be easy for him to comprehend that Typhon or

Apophis (*61) as he was also named was but a symbol of the lower

quaternary, the ever conflicting and turbulent principles of

differentiated chaotic matter, whether in the universe or in man,

while Osiris symbolized the highest spiritual triad." [Arthor

Redman]

nobiscum (Latin). with us. Part of a Rosicrucian salutation,

Deus Nobiscum, pax profunda. ("God with us, peace profound") see

131, 251, 329 (Latin).

LBNH Levanah. pale or white one, Moon; ??[Canticles 6:10]?? The

Sphere of the Moon. Lebanah, as white or pale one, identifies the

part of the work associated with Yesod with the alchemical "White

work of the Moon", wherein is concealed the real secret of

building the mystic temple of regenerated humanity. Formed of LB

(laib) heart, BN son, and NH (Nah) beauty, ornament. All these

words are related to Tiphareth, of which Yesod is a direct

reflection. The powers of the automatic consciousness of Yesod

are reproductions of the powers of the Ego in Tiphareth. see 80,

220, 32, 175.

LBNH lebanah. Brick, tile [Genesis 11:3, Ezekiel 4:1].

LVNH laybeynah. whiteness, clearness.

LBNH leybanh. frankincense. Incense connected with the sun and

Sunday. The first 3 letters spell LBN, white; and the last 3

spell BNH, to build, to make, to erect. Suggesting: 1. The heart

of the son (Man) are to be found the source of beauty; 2. That in

the aspect of the Life-power identified in Yoga and alchemy as

the "white work of the mon" is concealed the real secret of

building the mystic temple of regenerated humanity. Also LB NH:

"Beautiful heart."

ASVK awsook. vessel, flask, cup or pot for holding anointing

oil. Refers to Yesod as a receptacle of influence flowing down

from above.

KZLL ka-zahal. To shake or tremble.

KZIN ka-zain. of the sword.

BLIMH belimah. limitation, restraint, enclosure. In the Sepher

Yetzirah the same word is used as a noun denoting nothingness,

ZMM zahmam. to purpose, to think, to devise, plot. As a noun:

plan, device, purpose.

KL-KBVDH kahl-kebooddah. "all glorious," (is the King's

as being within Malkuth, the most external of the Sephiroth.

ABI-OD Abi-ad. The Everlasting Father [Isaiah 9:6]. For unto us

a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall

be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful

Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of

Peace."

PZ paz. Pure gold [Psalm 21:3]:"For thou preventest him with the

blessing of goodness: thou setest a crown of pure gold upon his

head." Mars (Peh) in Gemini (Zain). The Aesch Mezareph [II:6]

says: "Paz, and Zahab Muphaz (147) are referred to Tiphareth [I

Kings 10:18]; [Psalm 21:4; 19:11] and [Daniel 10:5]. For so

Tiphareth and Masloth are compounded in the golden Throne, [1

Kings 10:18]; also when it is called a vessel of Gold [Job

28:17]; a crown of Gold [Psalm 21:3]; bases of Gold [Canticles

5:15]." Wescott adds "solid gold as formed into a crown." [IBID,

p. 48]

ChKLL hakallah. colored. The word "color" is derived from a Latin

root, meaning "to conceal." This suggests that the material

world is a veil of color, concealing the real nature of the Life-

Power. Also redness, sparkling.

ChMM chammam. to be hot; to glow, to brood, to hatch. This word

is closely related to the old name of Egypt, Khem (ChM), whence,

by an interesting series of linguistic transmutations, we get our

modern word chemistry--so that the name of that branch of science

which is doing so much to establish the real unity of the

material world is, literally, "The Wisdom of Egypt." see 78.

ChSK chasak. to spare, withhold, be without.

NChL nachal. something hollowed out, a valley. The popular idea

is that the material world is a vale of tears; but there is a

profounder meaning than this. The Fool (Aleph), always descends

into a new valley on his adventurous Journey to the next mountain

peak. see 108, 7, 21, 14, 44, 66, 28. With different vowel

points: to take possession, possess, to inherent, to get,

1:9, 2:7]. Refers to alchemical separation. see 95

CHNIK chawnaek. trained person; apprentice; pupil. This word

born into his own house, and pursued them unto Dan." Dan =

Scorpio = alchemical putrefaction. see Key 13, 318, 94.

ChP chaph. "pure"; innocent. In Job 33:9: "I am pure and without

sin; I am clean and free from guilt. (10) yet God has found fault

with me; he considers me his enemy." see 808.

Fabre D'Olivet comments: ChP Heph. Every idea of protective

covering given to a thing; a guarantee, a surety. The Arabic

[word] is an onomatopoetic and idiomatic root which depicts that

which acts upon the surface, which skims lightly over a thing.

The verb [Arabic word] characterizes the condition of that which

becomes light; [Arabic word] anything which shivers, shudders

with fear, trembles with fright, etc." [The Hebrew Tongue

Restored p. 353]

PCh pach. danger; net; snare, trap. Psalm 119:110: "The wicked

have set a snare for me, but I have not strayed from your

precepts." According to Fabre D'Olivet: "PCh Pheh: everything

which is drawn in, expanded, as the breath; all that which is

unfolded in order. To envelop and seize, as a net... The Arabic

[word] constitutes all onomatopoetic and idiomatic root which

describes every kind of hissing of the voice, snoring, strong

respiration, rattling. When this voice is strengthened in [Arabic

word] , it signifies literally, an ambush; a trap." [The Hebrew

Tongue Restored, p. 425]

Greek/Latin

Nike, Vikeh (Gr). Victory. The deduction of 88 to its least

number is 7, the Sephirah named Netzach (Victory). see 360, 744

(Greek).

Aqua Vita (Lt). Water of Life. "If you would make our substance

red, you must first make it white. Its three natures are summed

up in whiteness and redness. Take, therefore, our Saturn, subject

it to coction in Aqua Vitae until it turns white, becomes thick,

and is coagulated, and then again till it becomes red. Then it is

red lead, and without this lead of the sages nothing can be

effected."

Filius Dei. Son of God. The water of life is the mystical son of

God and that son (the rider in the chariot in Key 7) is also the

rose itself (see 154, 119).

victoria (Lt). victory. see 224, 360.

Invenies (Lt). You shall find. Part of an alchemical phrase in

Secret Symbols (Page 17). "Visit the interior of the earth by

spiritual energy or Aleph. see 134, 46 (Latin)

Nascimur (Lt). We are born. You shall find that the son of God is

born anew through us by the aid of the triangle of Fire and the

water of Life. Part of the phrase discovered in the vault of

brother CR, see 683 Latin.

God. see 234.

summom (Lt). The highest. Part of an alchemical phrase. see 145

Peh/Teth, Mars in Leo

GVP Guph. The physical body, person, substance, essence, one of

the 4 elements (matter as apposed to spirit). The lowest , and

most external aspect of personality. Assigned to Malkuth, the

fruit of completion of the Tree of life. Gimel in GVP stands for

the Uniting Intelligence joining Yekhidah to the Ego seated in

the hearts of men, and also directly related to the Life-force in

Chokmah. Vav stands for the Ego as the inner teacher. The burden

of his teaching is that true wisdom must ever find expression in

loving-kindness. Peh stands for the destruction of error and

represents Yesod (by numeration) and the powers of the automatic

consciousness. It is during man's Life in the physical body that

he must accomplish the work which overcomes the delusions which

seem to limit him. Guph is the starting point for the work which

leads to liberation and is also the place where the Great Work

finds completion. The Hebrew dictionary gives the additional

meaning of "one of the four elements; matter, as the opposite of

spirit, person (grammatical)." see 496, 19, 463, 400, 430, 543,

1006, 55, 564, 170, 231, 809.

"The essence of Guph is the serpent-fire of which the token is

Teth, and this fire cometh forth through the working of the

Active Intelligence, of which the token is Peh. Thus the number

of Guph (GVP) is 89, and this 9 is Teth, and its channel of

outpouring is Peh, or 80. Add 8 and 9, and you shall see the

power of Zain (7) coming forth through 1 to bring forth 8, or

Cheth.

The Abode of Influence thus is Guph, but the outer working of

that aspect of Mezla which descendeth from Binah through the path

of Cheth.

(This sentence appears to be somewhat confused. I take it to

mean that Guph, the body, is the outward vesture of the force of

the path of Cheth, the House of Abode of Influence. The

symbolism of Key 7 would seem to indicate this. P.F.C.)

Through the path of Cheth the power of Saturn conjoineth itself

with the force of Mars. This power of Saturn descendeth also

through the path of Tav into Malkuth, and thus giveth form to

Guph in the World of Assiah.

Now, Guph is the body of the Lord, for is not the name of the

Kingdom ADNI MLK, Adonai Melek? Behold, then, the Kingdom

suspended from the cross of Tav. And what said the King,

speaking through that Guph men know by the name of Yeshua? Said

He not, "I am the living water?" And behold, MIM is 90, and so

is MLK; and thus Yeshua stilled the waters (seas), for he knew

that Adonai Melek is Lord of the Waters. ADNI MLK numbereth 155,

and here is AL in fivefold expression, for AL is 31." [Qabalistic

Text - 7th Communication, 3/9/47]

"89 is its number, and as the numbers are Sephiroth, this

revealeth Hod as the instrument of Yesod. But, again, 9 is

Yesod, and 80 is the numeration of ISVD. So, also, is 8 the seed

of 9, because 1, 2, 3, 4 5, 6, 7, 8 total 36, and 9 is the sum of

3 and 6. Yet see here the Mother, 3, and the Son, 6. Now look

at Key 8, and see there before you the Mother, and her Son, the

Lion of the Tribe of Judah. For ONE is All, and thus is Hod but

another aspect of ISVD. There is but one Foundation.

So also is 89 Teth (9), operating through 80, or the spiraling

light-power working through the Mouth of the Eternal (Teth

through Peh). When lightening flasheth, thunder roareth, and

thunder hath been, from time immemorial, a symbol for the Voice

of God. So is thy body, O aspirant, more, far more, than an

earthen clod. It is the intelligence that uniteth thee with the

Crown. It is the Nail that joineth thee to the Paternal Wisdom.

And it is truly the Mouth of the Lord. For in Guph are the

letters G, V and P, and these unite thee forever with the

Kingdom." [Qabalistic Text - 8th Communication, 5/8/47]

"See now, Guph is KLH, Kallah, the Bride, and in her name is

shown the perfection of the Kingdom. For the Kingdom is 10, and

KLH is 55, or the sum of the numbers from 1 to 10. See again,

the Bride, KLH, is also HKL, the ALL. For in Guph is the whole

creation made manifest. Therefore is Guph, the body, the whole

[holy? P.F.C.] Temple of the Most High. And where standeth

this Temple? Verily, it standeth in the midst, or center, and in

it abideth forever Adonai Melek (ADNI MLK), our Lord and King,

Holy is His Name, Blessed be He!

Note the statement that Guph is really the Kingdom, or the Bride

who is the ALL. This is fact. Can anyone separate even the

smallest body from the whole? Through a single atom course all

the forces of the universe, and whatever body you may take for an

example, whether it be small as an electron or great as a galaxy,

this remains true. Moreover, whatever body you may elect to

consider, that body is the mathematical center of an infinite

expanse." [Qabalistic Text and Commentary - 9th Communication,

5/15/47]

"Chokmah and Kachmah being numerically one, that is, 73, and this

being also the number of the name of the letter Gimel, GML, what

lies behind this part of the text is the Qabalistic doctrine that

Chokmah is the source of Chaiah, the life-force, and since GML as

73 is identical with ChKMH and KChMH, Gimel is also the seat of

Chaiah. Thus the fact that Gimel is the first letter of the word

Guph signifies that the body of man proceeds from, or has its

root in, Chokmah, which is also the Sphere of Masloth, the

highways of the stars." [Qabalistic Text - 23rd Communication

12/29/47]

DMMH demahmah, dummah. silence, whisper, hush; dormancy. The

great work goes on in silence but can be delayed by inertia.

ChPA khahfah. to cover, to veil, a cover or case, to protect.

Also in a sinister sense, to veil (the true nature of one's

intentions).

LThIM lataim. one enchanted, enchantments. The Illusions of

"Egypt." The incarnate life veils the consciousness through the

illusion of separation.

yahat, ya at [IOTh]. to clothe. An Aramaic word spelled the same

means: to consult. In Isaiah 61:10 this word is IOThNI, meaning

"He hath covered". The Tarot keys corresponding to IOTh (Keys 9,

15, and 8) are clues to its deeper meanings.

NThL nahtal, nawtahl. to lift up, take up a burden or weight; to

impose, to lay upon. A cross is a symbol of the burden (Saturn)

and of bearing the burden. yet it should be remembered that the

burden borne by those who know the great Archanum is Light, not

heavy. [Proverbs 27:3] "A stone is heavy and sand is weighty

[i.e. a burden or load]; but a fool s wrath is heaver than both."

PDCh pahdah. to separate, release, to ransom, redeem, deliver.

The mystery of redemption, veiled in the new testament depends

upon the incarnation, to which the word GVP, through its

gematria, affords a clue. "The kingdom of spirit is embodied in

my flesh" say the Malkuth statement of the Pattern.

HDP hadaph. to push away; To cast out, to drive out, eject, to

thrust, to push. Refers to the purification of the body-cells by

elimination of the "shells of the dead" or Qlippoth. This is

accomplished by clear vision (Heh), creative imagination and

strong desire (Daleth) and the overthrow of the false conception

of personality (Peh). See [Deuteronomy 9:4], 809.

IDY yawda. To see, to know.

DPH dapam. to provoke, mock, blaspheme. The result of failure to

understand what the word GVP really means.

ThP tawph. "children"; mentioned in the departure of the

Isrealities form Egypt, in [Exodus 12:37] "the Israelites

journeyed from Rameses to Succoth. There were abut six hundred

thousand men on foot, beside women and children. see 809.

Greek/Latin

Aula Lucis (Lt). The Temple of Light. Title of one of the

alchemical writings of Thomas Vaughan.

Anima Mundi (Lt). Soul of the world. Mother Nature active on the

physical plane. "For itself is the universal and sparkling flame

of the light of nature, which has the heavenly spirit in itself,

with which it was animated at first by God, who prevades all

things, and is called by Auicenna, the Soul of the World.

[Hermetic Huseum I. p. 78] A. E. Waite, describing the Mercury

symbol says: "The cescent denotes the lunar part, which is

feminine, and volatile in nature: This is the spiritus mercurii.

The medial circle has no point in the center, signifying the

immature state of Mercurial Sulphur Solis: This is the Anima

Mundi of Quicksilver. The cross at the base represents the

volatile body of the metallic substance." [Brotherhood of the

Rosy Cross, p. 460] see 55

Cibus animae (Lt). Food of the Soul.

Hermetis (Lt). of Hermes, i.e. Hermetic.

pyramis (Lt). pyramid. Classical Latin spelling. "Fire in the

Midst." The Fire of Life, which renews and transforms all

physical things. Also connected with self-conscious attention and

clear vision. see Key 4.

Argentum (Lt). Silver. Metal of the Moon and of subconsciousness.

In alchemy it is one of the higher brain centers which have

access to cosmic memory. Its highest aspect is "Living Silver .

see 166, 77 (Latin)

Sal Artis (Latin). Salt of the Art. [Hermetic Museum: Gloria

Mundi, p. 176] "The enigma of the wise (the stone) is the salt

and root of the art, and, as it were, its key, without which no

one is able either to lock or unlock its secret entrance. No man

can understand this art who does not know the salt and its

preparation, which takes place in a convenient spot that is both

moist and warm; there the dissolution of its liquid must be

accomplished while its substance remains unimpaired. These are

the words of Geber." Case notes that sal artis = 89 = Argentum =

Anima Mundi.

90 (2*5*9)

Number of degrees in the angle formed by lines constituting the

vertical line and base of a Pythagorean triangle. Therefore the

number 90 defines the union of the Mother, Isis, with the Father,

Osiris.

Sum of the perimeters of the 5 Platonic solids (6, 10, 14, 22,

38).

9*10 = The operation of Yesod through the 10 Lights of Emanation

[Book of Tokens].

Tz Tzaddi. Key 17 assigned to meditation, the process whereby

the wise attain to conscious union with the Life-power via the

Water which is the "Mute, dark mirror." The Zohar (Page 10)

states that Tzaddi consist of a nun (Fish) surmounted by a Yod

(hand), thus representing together the male and female principles

of creation. Using Tzaddi, the fish-hook via meditation, raises

Nun, the fish, out of the "Water" or subconsciousness into the

region of self-conscious awareness; it also raises the Scorpio

force to awaken the higher brain centers. "The letter Tzaddi

means "fish-hook," signifying that which draws the fish (Nun) out

of the water (Mem)." [The Tarot, Paul Foster Case]

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "This character as consonant, belongs to

the hissing sound, and describes an onomatopoeia, all object

which have relations with the air and wind. As symbolic image, in

represents the refuge of man, and the end toward which he tends.

It is the final and terminative sign, having reference to

scission, limit, solution, end. Placed at the beginning of words

it indicates the movement which carries toward the limit of which

it is the sign; placed at the end, it marks the very limit where

it has tended." [The Hebrew Tongue Restored, p.430-431]

"The letter Peh immediately precedes the letter Tzaddi in the

alphabet. This is to teach that guarding one's mouth from

slander, gossip, foul language, and so on, is the means by which

one attains the level of the Tzadik, the righteous one." [Letters

of Fire, Rabbi Glazerson] see 20, 106, 477, 104.

"...Saturn rules Aquarius, and Aquarius among the Holy Living

Creatures, is the one who wears the face of the man, and that is

of ADM. So too in the Rota the 12th Key is the suspended ADM,

and when meditation reaches its perfection the Stable

Intelligence is manifest, and nothing can move it." [Commentary -

19th Communication 6/18/48]

Paul Case observes: "The character of Tzaddi is really a small

Kaph, which forms the lower part of the letter, combined with two

Yods thus the toal secret value of this character is the sum of

the values of Kaph and two Yods, or 20 + 10 +10, that is, 40.

This indicates a secret connection between the character for

Tzaddi and the letter Mem which is also 40. Such a connection is

also implied by the attribution of the sign Aquarius to Tzaddi,

since Aquarius means water-bearer, and Mem means water.

Furthermore, the function of meditation serves to bring about the

changes of personal conscoiusness which leads to the mental

reversal pictured in Key 12, corresponding to Mem. Note, too that

the Letter-name MIM adds to 90, which is the ordinary vale of the

letter Tzaddi. This cinches the correspondence." [Tarot Practice

Course]

Letter Name Mem [MIM] waters, that which flows. (mute, dark

mirror). Alchemical water, microcosmically, is the cosmic fire

specialized in the nerve currents and chemistry of the blood. It

is purified by the image-making faculty of the Ego expressing

through human personality. the purification of this Water must

be the first work of the alchemist. Electricity is a fluid,

identical with the Mars-force.

"Especially important because it [90] is the number of the right

angle or square, typifying measurement; also it is the number of

the single letter Tzaddi, which suggest a connection between the

suspension of personal activity pictured by the Hanged Man and

the revelation of the truth about natural law pictured by The

Star." [Gematria of the Letter Names]

Here is the "fixed water," which is the First Matter, duly

prepared, and in the Tarot this is the Hanged Man, suspended over

a dry water-course. Note that he hangs from a Tav. He is

centered. The flow is stopped, or suspended, and all personal

considerations are eliminated, like the lopped branches of the

trees. But the glory is there, and the perfection, for MIM,

though it is 90, is also 650, if one takes the final M as 600.

Then the water is the "dry water," and the 650 is ADNI multiplied

by Yod, or HIKL multiplied by the same Yod. And the Lord and His

Temple are One, and this is centered in GVP, GUPH, as you have

learned. All this points straight, if one finds the door; but

few there be that find it. [10th Communication] see 89

DVMM domam. a great silence, still, silent, dumb, "in silence".

Qabalist say "Mem is mute, like water." It is the mute dark

mirror of substance, reflecting deity to itself in a "Great

Silence." [Book of Tokens]

MLK Melek. King. One of the names for Tiphareth. As a verb

mawlak: to administer, to reign, to rule, to counsel (see 40). As

a noun meyleyk: "king, ruler, prince". It refers to Tiphareth as

the seat of the Higher Ego or Christos which has dominion over

all things. The essential Spirit of Man is the dominant power in

creation. see 45, 52, 67, 311, 1081. The alchemical water is

actually the agency whereby the rule or administration of the

Life-power is established over all forms and condition of

manifested being.

"And what said the King, speaking through that Guph men know by

the name of Yeshua? Said He not, "I am the living water?" And

behold, MIM is 90, and so is MLK; and thus Yeshua stilled the

waters (seas), for he knew that Adonai Melek is Lord of the

Waters. ADNI MLK numbereth 155, and here is AL in fivefold

expression, for AL is 31." [7th Communication] see 155, 36, 89

"The Son is one with the Father, and the King is one with the

Seas, and the Man is the symbol of the division of the Seas. For

BN and AIMA are both 52, and MLK is like MIM, 90, while ADM is

45, the half of division of 90. These are the names of

Tiphareth. See then that MLK and ADM are really the same even in

number, for though 45 is the half of 90, 4 and 5 total 9, and 9

and 0 total 9 also. Furthermore the extension of 9 is 45. Thus

ADM and MLK are essentially one, but since MLK is 90, and this is

the number of MIM, the Seas, the King, like the Son, is one with

the Mother, for AIMA is also the root of water, and that is the

root of MIM, and besides, AIMA is named also the great Sea....in

this does the royalty of the King have its root, that he is one

with the Kingdom or Bride, and one with the Mother also. Now in

MIM, the Seas, the Rota shows you the hanged or suspended ADM,

thus is his head surrounded with the glory of the sphere of the

Sun. He is the MLK or King, and his power to rule is the

consequence of his utter dependence on what supports him - which

is the power at the center corresponding to the letter Tav.

Again both MLK and MIM are related to the letter Tzaddi by the

number 90, and what is Tzaddi in the Rota but the Mother

unveiling herself to those who succeed in meditation, as did our

Father Abraham according to the Book of Formation? [19th

Communication] see 45, 52, 434, 400.

"A king (refering to the truth that the personal exercise of

dominion is really just the reverse of what most people supposed

it to be, since we rule nature by stricly obeying her laws."

[Gematria of the Letter-Names]

MN mahn, min. to apportion; who? What? a chord. A root appearing

in the word man, moon, month. It is the Sanskrit name for a

measure of weight. It refers to man, the measurer, and is

directly connected with the 6 of Cups as the seat of the

distinguishing, discriminating faculty of the Ego. It also refers

to the mysterious food of the Children of Israel during their

years of wandering in the Wilderness. The fall of Fire and Water

from the Heavens is our true source of Sustenance. The sweet

"salt dew of heaven: is the purified body of the adept which

actually has a sweet savor and odor. [Exodus 16:15] "And when the

Children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, it is Manna,

for they know not what it was." see 786, 899, 395.

IKIN Jakin. the firm or strong one; patron From a Semitic root

meaning "unity" and refers to the creative power of the One

Thing. The white pillar, the pillar of mercy of the Tree of Life

has the same underlying significance as "Yod Tetragrammaton". The

pillar of establishment Solomon set before the porch of the

temple, and which is the royal secret (silence) of the life-

powers reign. In Masonry: He will establish. see 740, [1 Kings

7:21]

IMM yamin. hot springs. incorrectly translated "Mules" in the

authorized version of Genesis 36:24. The union of Fire and Water.

KLLI kellawliy or kelewli. Collective; all-inclusive. From the

adjective [KLL], kellawl, signifying "whole, complete." The 30th

path of Resh has to do with the completion of the Great Work in

the production of the new creature, evolved from the natural man

by the Life-power, working through the mental, emotional and

physical activities of a human personality. The collective

Intelligence is more than a mere aggregate. It does include the

sum-total of all modes of conscious life, but it transcends when

it includes. see 510, 250, 640, 53.

H-ISVDH ha-Yesodah. the Foundation (fem).

LMK Lamek. Powerful. Old Testement patriarch [Genesis 4:18) who,

heart" [Ezekiel 11:19] "And I will give them one heart, and I

will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stoney

heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh."

The "stoney heart" is a symbol of the sense of separateness

pictured by the tower in Key 16. see 85, 735, 740

establish (Samekh) by the Higher Self to establish balance and

harmony through action (Lamed)

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "SL. Every kind of movement which

raises, exalts, takes away, ravishes. The arabic [word] signifies

in a restricted sense, to draw to one's self. SL in a very

restricted sense, a leap, a gambol; in a broad and figurative

sense, the esteem or value that is put upon things. Also a heap

of anything; a thing formed of may others raised one upon

another, as a mound of earth, etc.

hell. Goap is one of the infernal region s 11 presidents. He is

also known as Gaap and Tap... That Goap was once of the Order of

Powers was proved after infinite research. reports Spence, An

Encyclopedia of Occultism. According to Demonologist, Goap was

Prince of the West . [Dictionary of Angels, p. 125]

ISK yawsahk. to pour, to be poured, as in Key 17. In Exodus

30:32 written IISK (31) "And say to the Israelites, This is holy

anointing oil [symbol of the Holy Spirit], sacred to Me alone

layman's body, not shall you make any other oil like it in

composition; it is Holy, and you shall hold it sacred." see 570.

Cyprus (Latin) Cyprus, the island of the Rosicrucian allegory

[Fama] where brother P.A.L. is said to have "died". Cyprus is

associated with copper, Venus and with creative imagination. see

870 (Greek), 111 (P.A.L)

"According to the allegory of the Rosicrucian FAMA FRATERNITATIS,

Brother C.R. began his journey to the Holy Land in company with a

certain Brother P.A.L., who died at Cyprus, the reputed

birthplace of Venus. The crucial work of transmutation,

represented by the death of P.A.L., occurs in the Venus center,

and since P.A.L. is a simple Qabalistic blind for the letter-name

Aleph (ALP), what is to be understood by the death of P.A.L. at

Cyprus is the dissolution of the airy essence represented by

Aleph, the letter corresponding to the path uniting Kether and

Chokmah on the Tree of Life.... In short, Brother P.A.L. s death

at Cyprus is a reference to alchemical dissolution." [Paul Case:

Great Work, Lesson 28, p. 2-3]

91 (7*13) Σ13 = 91

KSAI kissaiy. My throne. According to Isaiah 66:1, the throne is

the heaven. Ezekiel 43:7 uses this term in a context which

intimates that the place of the throne has suffered defilement by

the wicked. The throne itself is Kether, but the place of the

throne is the Ego manifesting through human personality and it

may be defiled by actions resulting from belief in personal will.

MKLA mekala. in all things. In the LESSER HOLY ASSEMBLY it is

MLAK malak. one sent, angel. A certain type of personality-a

conscious "messenger" of the Higher Self. A seer or prophet. see

90. In connection with Sarai, in [Genesis 16:7] "And the angel of

the Lord found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by

the fountain on the road to Gadar."

KMAL Kamael. "Severity of God," The Archangel associated with the

positive aspects of Geburah and the 5 of Cups. He is a symbol of

the Life power manifesting as the force we feel within us as

volition.

MKLA mekala. In all things [Lesser Holy Assembly]. "The name of

the ancient one is concealed in all things."

MNA manna. Manna, the divine nourishment of the Israelites in the

wilderness (variant spelling see 90).

MNA mene. Numbered. One of the words in the handwriting on the

wall described in Daniel 5:26. See 131, 231, 35. Metathesis of

AMN, amen. Note that in the quotation Mene is repeated twice:

"And this is the writing that was written: Mene Mene Tekel

Upharsin."

SVKH sokeh. branch, or bough Hebrew lexicon: bush shrub. When

one enters into the higher consciousness one perceives one's

relation to the great whole, as in Jesus words: "I am the vine,

and ye (the apostles) are the branches." With different vowel

points, Sukkoh: a hut, tent, booth.

AMN amen so be it. A title of Kether. As a verb: to be firm, to

be faithful, to support, to rear up, to nurture, to foster; also

faithfulness, truth, credibility. As a masculine noun: artificer,

artist, master workman. see 155, 620.

"Qabalist also understood this word to represent the combination

of the divine names IHVH (26) and ADNI, Adonai (65). It is, of

course, obvious that 91 is 7x13, so that it is the sum of the

last two digits of 758, multiplied by the first digit, and we

have seen that the whole symbolism of the vault [of Brother C.R.]

is intimated in the Hebrew noun NChShTh, Nekosheth, which means

copper, and adds to 758. Since the top and bottom of the vault

are equal heptagons, the area of this floor is like that of the

ceiling, or amen above and amen below. That is to say,

faithfulness above and faithfulness below. This would have been

familiar indeed to students of alchemy, who had by heart the

dictum of Hermes "That which is above is as that which is below,

and that which is below is as that which is above." [Paul Case:

True and Invisible Rosicrucian Order, (4th), p. 197] see 758,

462.

"The Ordinary numeration of AMN is 91, the sum of the number from

0 to 13. So taken, AMN stands for the full expression of the

concepts of unity and love (Achd, Achad and AHBH, Ahebah), each

of which is 13 in Hebrew. But sometimes a final Nun is understood

to represent the number 700. By this reckoning AMN would be the

number 741. This is also related to 13, for as 91 is 7x13, so 741

is 3x13x19. Thus the facts of 741, written as Hebrew words would

be AB (3) x AChD (13) X ChVh (19), or Father x Unity x Mother

(Eve). The occult meanings of AMN as 741 is therefore the power

of the Father, which is one power, manifested through the agency

of the Mother. Again, AMN, taken as 9 is equivalent in numeration

to the words IHVH ADNI, Jehovah Adonai, God the Lord. All these

Qabalisms serve a single purpose. They indicate that the quality

of consciousness distinguished by the word AMN, Amen, Faithful,

is fundamentally of the nature of the Primal Will, and is the

actual power whereby forms are brought into manifestation. Thus

St. Paul, trained by Rabbi Hillel, declared: 'Faith is the

substance of things hoped for.' [Paul Case: op. cit. pp. 384-385]

KVINH kavvanah. fervor, intention, intent, attention, devotion,

intense meditation. A Rabbinical term describing a mental

practice akin to yoga. The means whereby one becomes receptive to

power we experience as will

, which we receive from Geburah (see

Kamael).

"They made the Ephod of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet

yarn, and of finely twisted linen."

know in law suits, causes innocence to triumph. Just, honest,

loves truth, judiciary. negative influence: scandalous trials,

base men. Godwin gives: Kaliel; angel of the sixth quinance (26

) of Libra; angel by night of the 4 of Swords. This represents

the influence of Chesed or cosmic memory (4) in Yetzirah, the

Formative World. see 965, 1525, 60.

soul, gold of the philosophers, and flower of gold." This is the

Quintessence. see 131, 231.

Sal et sol (Lt). Salt and Sun. Alchemically salt and gold The

word Sal, salt, has a qabalistic correspondence to 7 because its

value is 28, the extension of 7. An instruction of the Freres

Chevaliers read in part: "(2) What is truth?-it is the Great

Architect of the Universe. (3) What has declared it unto you?-His

works, and the work of my hands. (4) How in his works?-all his

creatures testify concerning him. (5) How do the work of you

hands?-because I have seen the likeness of his creation. (6) Who

taught you this work?-our excellent master. (7) What did he teach

PChD Pachad. fear, terror, dread, object of fear. One of the

names of the 5th Sephirah. It represents the emotional approach

of ignorance to the rigid severities of natural law and natural

forces. A clue to the deeper meaning of the name Pachad is the

plural form, [PChDIM], "loins" or "thighs" in the English Bible,

in Latin versions it is called testiculi. This links with the

meaning of Geburah as the Sphere of Mars, for Geburah is held to

be the seat of virile strength, and Mars rules the reproductive

functions governed by Scorpio. (Pachad is translated "stones" in

Job 40:17.) see 64, 95, 216, 142, 297, 850.

1. The Tower, Key 16: No form is permanent, not does any form

separate a portion of the One Identity from the whole of that

identity. The reality manifested at any point in space is

identical with the reality existing at all points in space. The

reality existing in the present is identical with the reality

which has continued unbroken through the past and will continue

unbroken through the future... 2. The Chariot, Key 7: The One

Reality is the field of its own manifestation, the vehicle of its

own existence: and that One Reality is the directive principle in

human beings, designated by the pronoun 'I'... 3. The Empress,

Key 3: Nature is the manifestation power of the One identity. In

all nature no force opposes itself to that One. All the forces of

nature, with no exception, are instruments for expressing that

free will of that One Identity. Whatever appears to the contrary

is illusion, and the acceptance of that illusion for truth is the

delusion that binds the ignorant." [Paul Case: True and Invisible

Rosicrucian Order (4th), pp. 387-388]. The truth behind the

letters of this word is part of the doctrines of Greater Adept.

ChSDK chesed-ka. thy loving kindness [Psalm 138:2]. It shows the

difference between a wise man's reaction to the power of the 5th

Sephirah and that of the ignorant. What the ignorant fear, the

wise interpret correctly as loving kindness. Note that the

latter is Chesed, the fourth Sephirah. see 72, 216, 64, 572, 725

AHLIBMH Aholibamah. "Tent of the Height". Name of a wife of

Esau. Godwin gives: A duke of Edom, associated with Chesed.

Mathers, in [Sepher Sephiroth p. 14] cites [Ezekiel 23] also,

concerning Ohilibah, a prostitute in Egypt. [Genesis 36:41]

"Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon... (43) These were the Chiefs of Edom,

according to their settlements in the land they occupied."

GTz getz. spark; hardened mud. [K.D.L.C.K. p. 700] The "sparks"

BLADVN Baladon. "Not-Lord" or "Not-man". "The name of the [evil]

lion is Ariel [ARIAL = 242] as his face is that of a lion (sun),

my love. (10) If you observe my commandments, you shall abide in

my love; as I have observed the Father's commandments, and abide

in His love." Of love among christians, in [1 Thessalonians 3:12]

"And may the Lord cause you to be full and to overflow with love

to each other, and to all even, as we also to you." And in [2

Corinthians 8:7] "But as you abound in everything-in faith, and

in word, and in knowledge, and in all earnestness, and in your

love to us, see that you abound in the free gift also." Hence,

love in general, holy love, without specifying a definite object,

e.g. as an attribute of God, in [1 John 4:7] "Beloved! we should

love each other knows God." And as a christian grace, in [Romans

12:8] "Let love be unfeigned, detest the evil; adhere to the

good."

Mackey writes: "The word used by the apostle [Paul] is in the

original [Greek word], or love, a word denoting that kindly state

face of the unfinished pyramid of the Great Seal of the U.S.

AVPZ Uphaz. A corruption of the word Ophir, a place from whence

Solomon got his Gold. The Himyaritic "Ophir" means "red" and this

is the Key to the whole mystery. The alchemical Sun arose in

Arabia, and it was from that country that Solomon obtained his

Sulfur for the Great Work of manufacturing Gold, which Hiram Abif

carried on for him. Hiram has the same meaning as Christ or

Hermes and means Mercury, or the active principle [D.D. Bryant,

The Art of Alchemy, X]. see 254, 19, 273. [Jeremiah 10:9]:

"Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and Gold

from Uphaz..."

"Sun" hidden in the microcosmic "earth" is the Ego.

V.I.T.R.O.L. (Lt) A reference to the Ego. Alchemist call it their

Secret Symbols page 17. see 570.

Monoceros (Lt). Unicorn; one horn. Connected with Hiram the

architect of King Solomon s temple, with Hermes-Mercury and with

216, 297, 850.

DNIAL Daniel. A judge from God. Old Testement name, the prophet

and astrologer. Combines the words Dan, DIN with Al, AL, so that

it is a symbol of the expression of the latent powers of Chesed

through the activities of the Geburah (DIN, Justice). Also

Daniel, "The giver of mercies", angle of the 2 of Wands; 50th

Shemhamphorash, "God is Judge", the angle of confession. [Kircher

Oed. eg. V.2 pp. 266-267] 246

-250

. EREGGMO. May 8, July 19,

September 29, December 10, February 20, 4:20-4:40 PM. [Psalm

103:8] "The Lord (IHVH) is full of compassion and graciousness,

slow to anger and plenteous in mercy." To obtain the mercy of

God, and to receive consolation. Rules justice, lawyers, and all

magistrates in general. Gives inspiration to those who are

embarrassed by too many affairs and do not know exactly how to

decide. Persons born: industrious and active in affairs, loves

literature, and distinguishes himself by his eloquence.

Godwin gives: Angel of the 2nd quinance (6

-10

) of Aries; angel

by night of the 2 of Wands. This represents the operation of

Chokmah, sphere of the Zodiac in the archetypal place of ideas

(Atziluth). According to Davidson, the name means "God is my

Judge": an angel of the Order of Principalities, according to

Waite, The Lemegeton. Daviel (as Danjal) is one of a troop of

fallen angels, listed in Enoch I. In the lower regions he

exercise authority over lawyers." [Dictionary of Angels, p. 94]

HMIM ha-mem. the waters. Its refers to the "waters" from which

all organic life is spawned. see 90.

HMN hahman. to be turbulent. Refers to the restless activity

associated with Mars and the 5th Sephirah.

ZBVLN Tribe of Zebulon. "habitation." Cancer. Connected with

alchemical separation-the establishment of the personal purpose,

the formulation of the particular definition. The subtle is

divided from the gross and the distinction between appearance and

essence is clearly marked. In Genesis 49:13: "Zebulun shall dwell

at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for a haven of ships."

This established a clear correspondence the watery sign of Cancer

(Key 7) and the 4th House (associated with the home as a

"haven") [In the 4th house astrologers seek for indications as to

the end of a matter-for indications of what cargo we may expect

when our ship comes in]. Compare Domus, (64). Also Deuteronomy

33:19: "For they will suck the abundance of the seas and the

hidden treasure of the sand (see 45, 90). Compare with the

symbolism of Key 7, in which the idea of habitation is strong, by

the reason of the walled city in the background. [Links up also

with habit, pattern, ritual by virtue of Cancer being ruled by

the Moon or sub-consciousness] see Key 2, 64, 418, 867, 319, 100,

30, 570, 501, 54, 162, 830, 395, 259, 7, 331, 466.

MHLK mahalak. way, journey, walk, distance, free access. This

idea is also suggested by the chariot in the foreground of Key 7.

Furthermore, it is implied in the general meaning Zebulun, for a

haven for ships is at the end of a voyage or journey.

MLKH Malkah. the bride, a queen. One of the titles of Malkuth.

The alchemical queen is connected with whiteness, analogous to

Silver and the Moon. She is the bride of the king in Tiphareth,

the heart center and sun-power. see 55, 496, 148.

"Yet is Malkuth also KLH (Kallah) the Bride, and MLKH (Malkah)

the Queen... Yet more, Malkah is written with the letters of

HMLK, the King, and the King is Tiphareth, yet is Tiphareth

ThPARTh or 1081, and the seed of this is 10 which is both Malkuth

and Yod. Extended downward, Tiphareth is completed in Malkuth,

even as Tiphareth itself is the King or Royal Son, one with his

Father, and that Father is AB in Chokmah which also is the body

of Yod. Again, MLKH (Malkah) is 95 and this is the number of the

name of the letter Peh spelt in plenitude PH-HH...Thus is Malkah

truly as a Queen, also the Queen's daughter all glorious within.

Now she holdeth the mystery of union, and thus is she known to

the Sons of the Doctrine of ABNGDLH the "Great Stone," that is by

interpretation the perfect union in Chesed or Gedulah of the

Father AB with the Son BN." [26th Communication]

HMLK ha-Melek. The king. i.e. Tiphareth. see 90, 1081.

MNH monah. to appoint, ordain or number.

SLH selah. A word occurring often in the Psalm, the meaning of

which is obscure. It indicates the end of a thought. a musical

term (in Psalms); for ever. Mathers, in [Sepher Sephiroth, p. 15]

cites [Psalm 32:4,5] "for night and day your hand was heavy upon

me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer. Selah. Then

I acknowledge my sin to you and did not cover un my iniquity. I

said, I will confess my transgressions to the Lord -and you

forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah."

PH HH Peh. Letter name Peh spelt in full. The mouth of the

eternal and said to be the secret of the covenant with spiritual

Israel. see 85, 463.

"95... this is the number of the name of the letter Peh spelt in

plenitude PH-HH, so that in the first of these four letters you

may see the mouth of the Eternal, and in the other three Hehs

three-fold vision of past and present and of time to come, for

are they not three Hehs? Yet see further. Their whole addition

is 15, and this is IH, Jah, the Holy name of Chokmah and HVD

(Hod), the Splendor of the Presence.

Comment: One of the most important points in this section is the

Gematria of PH-HH. What the text does not say, though well known

to Qabalists, is that P. is the letter of Mars. So that PH, HH

must express a total Martian activity. Indeed all four letters

spiritual and discrete. Persons born: sweet-tempered, amicable

physiognomy, agreeable manners. Godwin gives: Hihyah; angle of

sixth quinance (26

-30

) of Virgo; angel by night of the 10 of

Pentacles. This represents the influence of the sphere of the

elements in the physical plane of action. Davidson says he is an

angel of the Order of Cherubim, and that his corresponding angel

is ATARPH.

to "breaking down the walls". see 745.

Greek/Latin

96 (8*3*4) [MISSING FULL PAGE OF TEXT]

SVD IHVH Sid IHVH. The secret of the Tetragrammaton. It has to

do with the various appearances reported by the senses and is a

mystery of renewal and regeneration. In has been preserved

generation after generation, in the assembly of the inner school.

see 70, 700.

Mathers in [Sepher Sephiroth, p. 15] cites [Psalm 25:14] "The

secret (counsel) of the Lord is with those who revere him; and he

makes his covenant known to them."

MLAKH malakah. deputyship, work (never servile). From MLAK "one

sent; angel, messenger; prophet, seer. "The secret has to do with

deputyship, with some application of the secret in work, not

servile, wherein he worker stands as the representative, or

deputy of another... the extension of 96 is 4656. The digits of

this number add up to 21, the sum of the numbers from 1 to 6,

which is the mystic number of the Sephirah Tiphareth, and so

connects with the symbol of the sun, where of Tiphareth is the

sphere. 21 is also the number of AHIH, the Kether name of God.

Again, it is the number of HGIG, a noun describing a form of deep

meditation, accompanied by murmuring. Thus we see that this

treatment of the number also agrees with the other details we

have been considering. [Again, the digits of 4656 give the number

720 when they are multiplied together. This number is 10 times

72. The number 72 is symbolic of the whole course of the sun

through the year, because it is the number of the quinaries in

the zodiac. It is also connected with the pentagram, because the

points of a pentagram divine an enclosed circle into 5 arcs of 72

degrees. Multiplied by ten, it signifies the manifestation of the

pentagram through the 10 Sephiroth, or the expression of the

Shemhamphorash through the Tree of Life. That is to say, 720 is a

symbol of a completed manifestation through the Sephirotic Tree.

But more than this, 720 is twice 360, and as there 360 degrees in

a circle, the number would be perfectly represented by two

circles, each complete, tangent to each other. Note that these

tangent circles make the figure 8 when their common diameter is a

vertical line, and the lemniscate symbol of the Magician in the

Tarot..." [op. cit.] [due to the jumbling of text, unable to

determine the reference.]

In Richardson s Monitor of Freemasonry (p. 43) As part of the

Mark Mason s degree the candidate takes in each hand a small

block of white Marble about 4 inches square and 6 inches long,

weighing about 11 pounds each. Paul Case has this note: "Volume =

4x4x6 = 96 cubic inches = 12x8 = MLAKH work." see 56 (KVL), and

600 (ShSh).

LLHAL Lehahel. Godwin gives: Lecahel; angel of the 6th quinance

(26

-30

) of Leo; angel by night of the 7 of Wands. This

corresponds to the operation of Netzach, sphere of Venus in the

archetypal plane of ideas. Davidson says his corresponding angel

is Asentacer.

must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line

upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go,

and fall backwards, and be broken, and snared and taken."

Mumiah. [Beginning of text missing, spelling of Mumiah is

unknown] Also associated with the fifth quinance of Cancer.

According to Davidson, Mumiah is an angel who controls the

science of physics and medicine and is in charge of health and

longevity. his corresponding angel is ATEMBUI. see 101, 646. This

word as "defects" appears in [Canticles 4:7] "All beautiful you

are, my darling; there is no flaw in you." Cario Suares comments:

"The Key word of this verse is VMVM oomoom... in which the male

energy is seen as being doubled by two Vavs, so as to meet the

duality. One Vav is received by the biosphere Mem (VM) and the

other is projected cosmically, still retaining its male quality

(VM-final). This happens when, mystically speaking the flesh

gives birth to, or becomes spirit. " [The Song of Songs, p. 97].

But note that here one of the Vavs is missing, i.e. it is

"defective".

HANIAL Haniel. "Grace of God", Archangel of Netzach and is the

aspect of the One Force active in the 7 of Cups (Netzach of

Briah). The working of the desire nature in Netzach is the

means whereby the Divine Grace becomes manifest through correct

understanding of the desire nature (see 363).

AMVN amon. artificer, master-workman, architect, designer; faith.

This corresponds to the 7 and the heptagram as symbols of skill

developed through trial and error. To partake of the Divine

Grace, we must gain conquest over the desire nature and balance

with exactitude the 7 inner holy planets, thus preparing

ourselves for Adeptship (see 91).

AVMN aumawn. craftsman, artisan, mechanic. also: AVMN (omayn),

trainer, educator; pedagogue; AVMN (omawn) border-bed, straight

line. Note that his word is metathesis of the proceding. The Mem

(reversal) and Vav (intuition) have been transposed. Vav gives

guidance as to ?here?. The result in both words is Nun. Also AVMN

day demon of 1st decanate of Gemini. This decanate is ruled by

Mercury and suggest imbalance in self-consciousness, resulting in

illiteracy, rigidness and dullness of perception-lack of

attention and concentration. see 747. Written AMVNIM in [Proverbs

20:6] and translated as "faithfulnesses" "Many men are considered

meriful; but a faithful man who can find?"

MHIThBAL Mehitabel, Wife of Hadar, a King of Edom This name is

connected with alchemical silver, in Aesch Mezareph [VII, p.39]

"And in [Genesis 36:39] (Baal-hanan son of Achbor died, then

Hadar reigned; his [enclosed] city was Pau; his wife's name was

Mehetabel, daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezahab."), it is

called Mehatebel, as though it were me hathbula, by changing the

order of the letters, i.e. the water of immersion, because the

king is immerged in them to be cleasned. Or as though it were the

el hatob, by a like change of letters; the water of the good, or

living silver; for life and good have power, as death and evil

have the same. see 253.

Latin

Liber Mundi (Lt). Book of the World or Book of Life. see 314

Greek, 30, 42, 55 Latin, 106, 444, 264, 230.

At this time [during the period of temporary celibacy in

"Arabia"], one has unusual insight into the secret of nature, and

the putting of this experience into an orderly, scientific, well-

organized form of statement is what is meant by the translation

of Book M (Liber Mundi). Brother C.R.C. is said to have brought

with him, because, even after the initiatory experience are over,

the knowledge gained thereby is never lost. This knowledge

includes grasp of the principles of occult healing and

mathematics. It is translated from Arabic, the language of

initiated perception, into Latin, the Language of science. What

we learn from this Book of the World is intelligible,

communicable (in large measure) and may be stated that it will

appeal to the intelligence of others. Note that this work was

done during his 16th year, referring to Key 16. A structure of

true knowledge implies the overthrow of error. [PFC: True and

Invisible] The Liber Mundi, connected also with Book M, is liked

to Mem, Key 12, the Hanged Man; the numbers of which when

reversed are 21 or Key 21, Saturn, Book T. see 314 (Greek), 30,

42, 55, 106 (Latin), 444, 264, 220, 366.

right quote]. "If you will indeed hearken to my voice (142) and

you will keep my covenant, then you shall be to me a peculiar

treasure from among all the peoples; for all the earth is mine."

see 104. The root of this word is probable [SG] Seg, "secret"

name of Briah. see 63.

ChSL khasal. to consume, eat, to finish off; to finish, end.

OCh dach. white, clear, sunny, warm, dry. [RVCh OCh], dry wind

[Jeremiah 4:11]. Dazzling, bright, clear, glowing, brightness.

PChDV pachaedah. his stones [Job 40:17]. The Hebrew text

translates this word "his thighs," a euphanisum for testicles.

see 142, 453.

PThDH Pitdah. Emerald, according to Kosminsky; the second stone

of the breastplate of the high priest, in [Exodus 28:17] "And you

shall set it in settings of stones, four rows of stones; the

first row shall be a red [Hematite], an emeralds, and a marble."

For the other stones, see 45, 702, 150, 345, 395, 370, 308, 84,

1210, 350, 85. Isidore Kosminsky writes: "The second stone of the

breastplate is give as Pitdah, variously interpreted as a Topaz,

peridot, yellowish-green serpentine, diamond and chrysolite. The

Targums agree that a green stone is implied and some authorities

seek to clear the mystery by advancing that the stone was of a

yellowish-green. The Topaz of the ancients is not the Topaz of

today, but is identified with the stone known to us as the

chrysolite or Peridot. Traditionally the emerald is associated

with the second sign of the Zodiac... The gem needed is therefor

a green one, and this is traditionally the correct one for the

Sionshor or Taurus in which Nogah or Venus delights and in which

Labanah or the Moon exalts. The Emerald was sacred to the period

this period of the year. This gem was well-known amongst ancient

nations, especially those of Egypt and Ethiopia where the chief

Emerald mines were... The tribe Simeon corresponding to the

zodiacal Gemini was engraved on the second gem of the

breastplate-although it has no connection with it... it should be

understood that by Emerald is meant the precious Emeralds as we

know it or its varieties Beryl and Aquamarine. It may be noted

that the Topaz, a gem most generally favored as the second stone

on the breastplate, is traditionally assigned to the opposite

sing of the zodiac, Scorpio..." [The Magic and Science of Jewels

and Stones, pp. 22-24]

He continues: "The Emerald is the beautiful green variety of the

Beryl family, colored by Chromium... the whole beryl family is

classified under the sign Taurus. their crystalline form is

hexagonal (6-sided), and six is the traditional number of Venus,

whose earth house or mansion in astrology is the heavenly

Taurus... As eye stones the stones of Beryl family have always

been held in high esteem, Pope John XXI affirming that a disease

eye treated with an emerald became sound again. It was not

claimed that the emerald would restore lost sight, but it was

regarded as extremely potent in eye disease, injury or trouble of

any kind. Sometimes it was sufficient, especially in the case of

inflamed eyes, to bathe the eye in water in which emeralds had

been steeped for 6 hours; at other times the stone was reduced to

the finest powder, an extremely small quantity of which was

placed in the eye at state intervals... The tradition that when a

serpent fixed its eyes on an emerald it becomes blind is echoed

from the Hebrew philosophy, and Ahmed Ben Abdaliziz in his

'Treatise on Jewels' has it that the lustre of Emeralds makes

serpents blind... The symbolist will at once perceive the hidden

parable: in astrology, serpents have been classed under the

Scorpion of the Zodiac, and the Venusian Taurus in the zodiac is

opposite to the Scorpion... it can easily be seen why the Emerald

is the emblem of true happiness and the preserver of chastity,

and why it was said to fracture if chastity were violated: To one

taking vows of chastity and breaking them, the Emerald could

never appear the same again-before his spiritual vision it would

be broken and shattered. Leonarus says that the Emerald protected

women in childbirth, and must old writers are impressive in

warning men to wear one as a charm against spiritual and mental

weakness... as an emblem of eternal spring, Iarchus advised that

it an emerald set in a ring of gold be placed on the solar finger

of the left hand when the sun entered Taurus, the wearer would

attain his cherished aim and be enabled by the sweating of the

stone to detect poisons.. the Romans greatly esteemed the Emerald

as an eye stone and a natural specific for ophthalmia, holding

that what healed an calmed the spiritual eye would heal and calm

the natural eye. The Persians applied ashes of burnt Emeralds to

ulcers with curative effect. They said that the Emerald brought

mental tranquillity, cured unnatural thirst, stomach troubles,

jaundice, liver troubles, obstructions, gravel, stricture, bodily

pains and epilepsy. Alberus Magnus also recommends it as a cure

for epileptic attacks. Mystics have always regarded that Emerald

worth. It is spoken of by Cardanus as an ideal gem for divinatory

purposes-no doubt because of its pure spiritual import.

Aristotles writes that an Emerald hung from the neck or worn on

the finger protects from the 'falling sickness'. The ancient

writers held that all kinds of divination were helped by the

Emerald, and when worn by the transaction of honest business it

gave favor to the wearer... Paracelsus wrote that the Emerald was

in sympathy with the metal copper-also recognized as the chief

metal of Venus. [The Magic and Science of Jewels and Stones, pp.

139-140]

MNHG minhag. to drive (a chariot); custom, manner, conduct,

usage. The noun menahig, "driver," is from the verb [MNHG],

minhag, "to drive" (as a chariot). Note that the study of the

the Chariot." The 13th Path of Gimel, saykel menahig ha-achadoth

[Driver of Unities]. Variant spelling, see 108.

HVA ALHIM Hu Elohim. He, the Creative Powers. This indicates the

essential identity between Yekidah in Kether (He) and Neshamah in

Binah (the Creative Powers) through the path of Beth (Key 1, The

Magician). this is the "treasure" which drives the soul to unity.

ZMNA zemnah. time, appointed time (Chaldean). Temporary dwelling

[Exodus 33:11]. "In the last day shall the demon be cast into a

lake of fire; but to each man their is appointed a last day, and

none knoweth the time save he who hath appointed it." The "Demon"

is the illusion of separateness. [Book of Token, Ayin] Godwin

gives: "Temporary dwelling" in [Sepher Sephiroth, p. 15] and

cites [Exodus 23:11] "The Lord would speak to Moses face to face,

as a man speaks with his friend. Then Moses would return to the

camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the

tabernacle." A medieval spelling of MChNh camp, army. see 391,

386, 106. The "temporary dwelling" is Beth, the house of

personality.

MBVN maboin. means, instructed, taught. MBVN is the nearest

approach I [PFC] have been able to discover in the Hebrew

dictionary to the word, which in a certain initiation is said to

be the substitute for another greater word which has been lost.

Now we know that the lost word is IHVH, for is regained in a

certain higher grade. This word is the Key to most of the

mysteries, and its value is 26... In Maboin, taking the Nun as

50, the sum of the letters values is 98 which reduces to 8. Thus

by reduction, the word corresponds to MVNShH (398), forgetting,

or making forget. IShVO (386), Jeshua -God the Savior; OVR (296),

Zur, God, a rock; PVRVShA (593), purusha, the I Am or onlooker;

HVA ALHIM (98), He is the Elohim [PFC notebook, from day to day,

Page 1 October 20 1914].

ChTz chetz. arrow; lighting; punishment; wound. in [Lamentations

3:12] "He drew his bow, and set me a mark for the arrow." Also in

[Habakkuk 3:11] "Sun and Moon stood still in the heavens as the

glint of your flying arrows, at the lighting of your flashing

spear." In [Ezekiel 5:16] "When I shoot at you with my deadly and

destructive arrows [i.e. Calamities] of famine, I will shoot to

destroy you. I will bring more and more famine upon you and cut

off your supply of food." And in [Job 34:6] "Although I am right,

I am considered a liar, although I am guiltless; his arrow

inflicts an incurable wound."

Fabre D'Olivet comments: "ChTz Hetz. Every idea of division,

scission, gash, cut that which act from the exterior, as the

adverbial relation ChVTz expresses outside. The Arabic [word]

signifies to stimulate; and [Arabic word] to keep stirring, to

agitate. ChTz that which divides by making irruption, passing

without from within: an arrow, an obstacle; a stone coming from

the sling; an axe, a dart: a division of troops; a quarrel, etc."
